It is sincerely hoped that when time hangs heavy on your hands, when the fleet-footed hours seem like days, that this book will make you forget your troubles and will recall to your mind pleasant memories of those happy days spent at I. S. D. The class of 59 tried to please and it hopes that you like this book. It's been a lot of work, It's been a lot of fun, We've liked to do it - but - Thank goodness we are done. Dedication In appreciation of her willing service to the school this edition of the Reel and Gold is respectfully dedicated to Mrs. Goldie Crabill. Mrs. Crabill has the interest of the children at heart as well as the interest of the school. She is the one who comforts the homesick child, wipes away his tears and cares for all his needs. She is the one who gives the child a warm and happy start in his life at the Iowa School for the Deaf. She has endeared herself to all of us. MRS. GOLDIE CRABILL FINANCE Arthur W. Walsh :\!Irs.

We want to confer this honor upon you because we, and many I.S.D. students before us, h ave always felt sure of your interest in our problems, your pride in our successes, and your affection for us even when we tried your patience. Some of us will remember you as our teacher; others will remember you as our principal when we were in the Middle Division ; all of us will remember you as a friend whose door was always open to us. We remember the happy laughter that surrounded you and your never-ending stock of stories. A s we leave I.S.D. it is fittin g that we dedicate this book to one who has contributed so much to the school-day memories we will cherish always. May we often renew our fri endship in the yea rs to come. The Class of '58 Introduction T o the Senior Class of 195"8 this book is the fulfillment of a year of planning, work, and fun. We offer it to all who open its covers as representative of the many phases of school life at I.S.D.-- from Primary H all days to the activity-filled days of Seniors. We are grateful to the school administration, to the Board of Regents, to our advertisers, and to our sponsor, Michel Laurent, all of whom helped to make this book possible. As the underclassmen read the pages of our Senior Annual, we hope they will be inspired to make the most of their school lives and to keep m mind the truth of this quotation : "Silver and gold will vanish away But once you get learning, it will never decay." .c 'd- Governor Hersche l Loveless Lester G ill ette Harry H .

ISD wil abandon eleve n man footba ll .ind use six ma n for its regular 1958 schedule. Last fall ISD lost 5 games and won only one from the Kansas School fo r the Deaf at Homecoming. Though our team was green, it gave many thrills. It deserves admi·ration and praise because it was fu ll of determination and courage and played to the best of its ability.

The air is filled with the smell of a fresh sa lty sea, which is seen with several white sails, while the breeze whispers so ftly near and far. The world seems very quiet from the high bluff of a Naples Castle where I sit quitely on the porch terrace in the hot sun. Life is ge tting dull and I am growing restless when fortunately, my maid delivers my mail. She hands me something that looks familiar. I open it to see what it is , - oh , it is our old school paper, the "Hawkeye N ews." It is the first time in 10 years that it has finally r eached me. As I start to read, I notice a headline, "Class of 19.57 Having A Reunion." Oh, how disappointed I am since I had to miss it. But I am thrilled to know what my classmates are doing at this time. The first young lady to be presented at the class reunion was Miss Carol Porter, now a private secretary to the head of the Rockfell er Building in N ew York City. A big man with his favorite cigar came along to ISD with his lovely wife and four offsprings - two girls an<l two boys and all chubby, from Kansas City, Kansas, where he has operated his own printing business. Oh, he's good old chubby Joedy Coffman! Two gentlemen, now wearing grey hair, are still living in good old Iowa and they are especially enjoying their jobs as printers in D avenport. They are Gerald Myers and Roland Thompson. Roland adds that he is still chasing beautiful girls. A couple just celebrated their eighth wedding anniversary and it is reported that they were the first ones to get married in this class. They are Mr. and Mrs. Marion V an M anen, (Norma Prine) and they proudly brou ght along with them - three boys! Marion is now an atomic researcher in hot, dry Arizona . N orma stays home with the boys. The school is mighty proud of its record, its girls captured the finals in the State Tournament. The tall man with plenty of encoura gement for the girls was said to be Dennis W ernimont, our basketball hero! He especially enjoys his bachelor's life ! Prophecy John Gannon may be a little disappointed, but is proud of the five big healthy girls in his family. He especially loves his best cook - his own wife. He is now operating his father's farm. Everyone was thrilled to head the adventures from Alaska where a blonde girl, the former Janice Booy went vacationing with her husband who is now the General of the Air Force. They said that they also enjoyed their two little ones. Libby Kaplan now is the owner of a Children's Home where she has never enjoyed life so much . Sharon Kay, Libby's assistant, enjoys it, too. The class reunion went perfectly with sunny weather, thanks to the weatherman, Robert Kline, now working under the W eather Bureau in his hometown, Albia. Everyone enjoyed the former Barbara Pospisil's chatters. She is now married, has three sweet little girls and is living happily in southwestern California. Our muscular man, Floyd Hoffman, came along, too, with his lovely wife and new offspring. H e reported that he enjoys farm life near his hometown. He reports that he rai es about 40 head of ca ttle yearly. H arris Daggett is happier than ever, someone reported, since he now operates his own business near Duluth. Minnesota . Someone must be wea lthy in this group. H e won the $64,000 Question several years ago. H e now runs the city library in his hometown, Sioux City, and also an author of the best-selling mystery book, "The Secret Plot" and his name is Herbert Anderson. But where's Shirley? My, I really laughed at this! Well, after all, I have been vacationing in this Naples Castle in N aples, Italy. I am a secretary to a professor of T exas University. You better guess more. W e were happily married with a swell family - two kids. Class Upon behalf of my client, the class of 1957, of Iowa School for the Deaf, of Council Bluffs, Iowa. W e have called you together upon this solemn and serious occasion, to listen to our last will and testament, and to receive from our dying hand the few gifts we have to bestow in our last moments. Cutting so rapidly loose from school and finding so many things of such gigantic proportions to be attended to before the end should come upon us, realizing at the same time that we h ave no longer any time left to spend in cultivation of our own virtues, we did collectively and individually, deem it best to distribute these virtues with our own hands to those friends to whose needs they seem best fitted . W e, the Senior class, want to let everybody know how much we appreciate all the things that we have learned and shall treasure them fo r the rest of our lives. W e shall remembe r all the fun we had in the past yea rs. Listen, then one and all, while we read this will to you and swea r to it : The following may seem but trifing bequests, but we hope they may be accepted, not as worthless things lavishly thrown away because we can no longe r keep them, but as va luable assets to those who may receive them, and a continual reminder of the generosity of hear displayed in our free and fu ll bestowa l. Dennis W ernimont gives his ability m athl etics to Larry Manley. Marion V an Ma nen bestows his president's job to Jens Sorensen. Shirley Mcl eland gives her intelligence to G lori a Darrah . Sharon Kay gives her shyness to Conni e Henry. Robert Kli ne leaves his weather reports to w homeve r may he interested . Libby Kaplan who is the qui et type of a girl passes it on to Patty Nicol. Will Carol Porter leaves her chatting to Patty Carritt. Floyd Hoffman leaves his h andsome looks to Lynn Ohm. Joedy Coffman leaves h is chubbiness to Judy Wheeler. Roland Thompson gives his laziness to Dale H arris. Gerald M yers gives his lamp shade to Larry M anley. H erbert Anderson leaves his habit m reading good books to D avid Peterson . John Gannon leaves his thoughts and arguing about sports to Don V an Soelen . Barbara Pospisil gladly leaves her comic books to Judy Shepherd. Jani ce Booy gives her cheerfulness to M adeli ne H ovinga. N orma Prine passes on the Queen of H omecoming to whomever it may be. H arris D aggett leaves his sleepiness to [van Cox. W e would like to leave our gratitude to Mr. Berg fo r many h appy yea rs at ISD and fo r the many other opportunities h e h as ma J e ava il able fo r us. W e leave our heartfe lt thanks to Mr. Gia ngreco fo r his h ard work in helping us to plan fo r our future. W e give our thanks to Mr. Scarvie, fo r h is interest in our vocational development and h is many kin d encouragements. Signed th is fifth day of June. T h e Senior C la ss of 1957.

Shows such as Saved by the Bell, High School Musical, and Laguna Beach certainly gave the impression that high school was going to be an adventure, but could never prepare them for the four years that lie ahead. Lewis Central is the beginning of the rest of their lives. After the nervous blur that some call freshman year, students start to find their strengths in the many areas such as business science, journalism, art or engineering. After taking these classes students can finally confirm with their parents that they were correct at five in stating that they will be a doctor someday. For others, they find themselves involved in different activities. Some discover their inner Kelly Clarkson, while others see themselves as the Jim Carey that lights up the stage. LC students test their skills to showthattheirdrumming ability is more than above par. Titan athletes discipline themselves to achieve the impossible. While all of this craziness is going on, balancing work, family, friends, and cramming for finals becomes crucial for survival. These four years teach lessons students will need in their future such as when their train will arrive if it leaves point A at 3 o'clock or how much sugar to put in the cookies. They realize that a home-made meal with family is better than a pop tart while running out the door. Students discover all of these things alongside those that are most deserving of a friendship bracelet. The dream of having the high school experience like those such as Zack from Saved by the Bell or Vanessa from High School Musical may not come true, but Titans have their own adventures. Everyone can be sure of that. With all of these life lessons in mind, it's safe to say that Lewis Central will always be with its alumni and students. Whenever the word "Titan" is said, students will remember back to the great days of tailgating, Friday night movies, and snow days with friends. They will remember the things they learned, and know how it ha helped them throughout their life. Graduation is not the end; it's the beginning of the rest of their lives. BEcause it's we are. What does student life mean to most people? • To many • , the firstthing that comes to mind is activities students do inside of school or the friends they hang out with, but student life is more than that. Students live through high school encountering new experiences that help them cope with their futures. It is not what students do, it's the events they go through, the decisions they make, and the memories they take with them for the rest of their lives. Going through high school, students pick up many routines. The first day of school only comes once a year. Everyone drags , themselves out of bed, throws on the carefully picked out clothes, and checks their make-up before walking out the door. Then, after a few weeks into the school year, mornings become a ritual, the first day becomes a daze and all that is keeping students sane is counting the seconds until summer returns. A big part of school life is academics. For many students the school year is pretty serious. Cram sessions and caffeine become an essential. There is a week every year, however, where the school gets a little crazy, SPIRIT WEEK! Students try to show their personality through different characters such as Cruella Deville, Tinkerbelle, Mickey Mouse and even "Pimp Daddies" a.k.a. Mr. Agan. Another thing high school is not complete without is school dances. Students grow courage and fight off those scary nerves to ask someone to be their date. Next up, is making dinner arrangements and getting the groups together. After a long day of hair and makeupTitans are all dressed up to show up at Homecoming, Snoball or Prom and dance the night away! When it comes down to it, Titans have busy schedules, loads of spirit, and many memories to carry on. They lead active and successful lives, with days that start at dawn and end after sundown. Whether it's the first day of school or their last moments in the hallways, students are accomplishing more than ever. No one will understand the life of a true Titan until they live a day in their shoes. p R 0 u D BECOME I twas August, and the end of summer was near. Students realized that the inevitable, the first day of school, was well on its way. Feeling distraught, they reminisced about all of the fun times they had in the past couple of months and complained that those lazy days had been cut short. Though the end of summer was a sad thought, they wondered about all of the new and exciting things the school year would bring. The freshmen felt a burst of emotion on the first day of school. At first they were so excited, yet so nervous, to finally be in high school. Upon their arrival the freshmen gathered in the commons where they met the principals, faculty, and student council; the band performed for the first time and the class photo was taken. Whisked away to class, there was mass confusion, and they felt lost. Luckily, the friendly student council members were there to guide them. "I'm glad student council was there to help us. I wouldn't have been able to find a lot of my classes otherwise," said freshman Chase Durham. After the first run-through of classes, it was time for lunch. The school became much more crowded, with the upperclassmen flooding into the building. They had been sleeping in and going out to breakfast with friends all morning, and were now ready to take back the school from the newcomers. "The freshmen looked like deer in the head lights when we got there,"said junior Lora Billesbach. "I don't remember us ever being that small when we were freshmen." Finally the day ended, and all of the students shuffled out of the building that would hold them captive for 179 more days. For the freshmen and new kids, it had been an initiation into Titan country. This is when they truly became a Titan. Pages by: Caitlin Christensen and Kaitlyn Connealy What you need to BE prepared: SUPPLIES. You probably won't be doing much book work today, but it's a good idea to be prepared with some notebooks and pencils in case your teachers release information vital to your memory. CLOTHES. What you wear on the first day of school should represent who you are. So express yourself! Don't go out and blow all of your money on a brand new outfit, but do look your best to make a good impression on your peers and teachers. WELCOME Breakfast is an essential for a successful first day. From Poptarts to Vil lage Inn French toast, you should satisfy your early morning cravings to prepare yourself for all the new changes and challenges.

"One time my car broke down because I tried to get a cat off my car and it got stuck in my engine. Another time my car broke down, Felisha Moore had to come pick me up. The funny thing was, I gave Alex Rocha a ride. His little brother was dressed up as a banana." Photo by: Josh McNeely HEATED For most teens, their first car is not always their dream car; and they are full of hidden problems that they happen stumble upon at the worst possible times "One day my car overheated and I had to ride to school with Marcy. She listens to some oldies. It wasn't a good change from my music," senior Zach Stowe. Photo by: Josh McNeely THE LINE UP Manuvering out of the parking lot takes skill , patience, and time. Many students have to wait in line at least five minutes to leave." It takes more time than it really needs to get out everyday," Nathan Cox, sophomore.

Some are even lucky enough to get a car before that. Some have no such luck and must work and save money to finance their own car. Though Driver's Ed is mostly a drag, in the end the thrill of getting a school permit or license makes it all worth it. "One time, I was driving for class, Mr. Siske, the instructor, told me to pull over to the side. I came over too far and hit a mailbox. I was mad because he blamed it all on me, but it was really his fault," said sophomore Kayla Bass. Having a car and a license opens a whole new opportunity of freedom . You can get where you need to go when you need to get there at the expense of no one else. These freedoms, however, are accompanied by responsibilities as well. While some are fortunate to have their parents fill up their tanks, the rest of the student drivers must work for their gas. With gas prices sky-rocketing, students are finding themselves burning a whole in their pocket as their cars burn fuel. "Gas prices are ridiculous. I just got a new truck and it costs ninety bucks to full up. That's too high!" said sophomore Blake Hunter. New, inexperienced drivers are likely to have a few fender benders, especially in winter weather. "The first snow of the year, on my way home from school my car couldn't make it up the hill by the fire station on Greenview. I had to take a different road, and I ended up getting stuck anyways. My dad had to come get me," said senior Kristen Schweer. Out on the road, there are a few things all drivers should remember: buckle up, obey the speed limit, never drink and drive, be a defensive driver, keep off the cell phone, and drive smart.

PUT YOUR GAME FACE ON With intensity in their faces, seniors Allie Frost, Courtney Kmezich and Jackie Clinkenbeard use every ounce of energy to defeat their opponent. It's become a tradition for at least one person from each team to wear a pair of gloves in the tugof-war games, for the seniors it was Kmezich. CHAMPIONS Displaying their super human strength, the junior girls fight in the tug-of-war championship. The juniors beat the freshmen and the senior girls. VICTORY! Smiling for the crowd, freshman Nolan Johnson rejoices after a victory in the pie eating contest. "It was awesome I never get to eat like that," says Johnson.

The host for the evening's activities was drama director, Tom Mclaughlin. The night began with the walk of representatives from each grade. Soon the games began with the first event being a survival of the fittest challenge. The challenge consist 9 of dressing up and then balancing on a thin log with one leg. "Even though balancing was hard, the hardest part was not laughing during the teacher acts," said winner senior Tierra Wells. While many teachers participated, few will forget Counselor Julie Mccomas circling the court with her basketball, or Joe and Kellie Vi nchettle executing a series of cheerleading stunts, or the dance moves of Andy Walters and Brian Johnson. The administrators, Chuck Story, Paul Massman, Mike Hale and Kim Jones performed their version of the Blue Man Group complete with PVC piping. "I had to use breathing skills, it was so hard to breath in that mask and the gym was so hot!" said Mr. Hale. An additional game was added this year, a pie eating contest won by freshman Nolan Johnson. "It was great! I was only a freshman and I dug in and beat all the upperclassman," said Johnson. The evening continued with the sexy leg battle. Seniors Brian Jacobs and Duong Pham swept away the competition with their amazing legs. "I manage to keep my legs sexy with a lot of running and swimming, and a lot of lotion," said Duong Pham. Finally it was time for the crowd favorite, the tug- ofwar! Enormous amounts of energy were exerted over a few rounds of tugging. The reigning champions turned out to be the senior boys and the junior girls. At the end of the night Tony Robinson and Mallory Husz were crowned homecoming king and queen.

For some, they had been planning the night since July, making dinner reservations and color coordinating everything to the perfect shade of blue. For others, homecoming was full of last minute reservations and shopping. Whatever the case, homecoming was here and the night was young. After the semi-uncomfortable "parents meeting and taking pictures," several people relaxed and went to the restaurant of choice. Many fine dined, but others took a more relaxed approach. "We went to Luke Norville's house and had Valentinos catered," says freshman Sarni Schaefer. With food eaten and tips left on (most) tables, everyone's pulse was beating faster than usual; the main event was only minutes away. As the car headed towards school, the vibe within the group changed. "We played the alphabet game on the way over; I was driving and I still won! Jami Mundt even cheated," said sophomore Brian Fountain. Once there, parent volunteers were more than happy to check in the belongings of the students. After everything was checked in, it was finally tim·e to dance. Adrenaline levels climbed as the mass of people started to dance. Then, for a brief moment, the spotlight belonged to the Homecoming King and Queen, Tony Robinson and Mallory Husz. As they shared in their first dance as royalty, others joined the floor. The last song ended, and everyone plowed through the lines to get their belongings, then headed in separate directions. For most, the after party was their destination. "Our group went to Jackson Dick's house and once we got there we then proceeded to head downstairs to change and wait for the stragglers from our group. Jackson's mom had made a massive amount of food; I was in heaven,'' said junior Adam Evans.

ROCKIN' THE GLOWSTICK Many students brought glowsticks to the homecoming dance. ''The party line with the glowsticks and lays was really fun. It was cool because we haven't had that kind of thing before," said senior Amanda Goeser. Photo by: Lauren Petri As the season changed students showed that the cold weather couldn't get in the way of their dancing shoes. With longer dresses and a more formal attitude this could only mean it's time for Snoball. A night filled with memories and good times, students looked forward to different aspects of snoball. "The most exciting part of the night was getting lost on the way to the restaurant. We were trying to get to Malara's and we ended up getting lost in North Omaha. It took us an hour before we finally found the restaurant," said sophomore Kelsey Johnson. While many went out to dinner, some dined in showing that Snoball doesn't have to be an expensive night. Grilling hamburgers or ordering in a pizza was a new twist on a classic night. "I had a bunch of guys over before Snoball and we ate hamburgers and had a Wi i tournament. It was a lot of fun," said freshman Nate Connealy. After dinner and a quick photo shoot it was time to go to the dance. A quick stop to the coat check to drop off shoes, coats, and purses, and then off to gym to continue a night of fun. The clock struck 1 O and it was time for the court to make their entrance. Some stepped away from a classic red carpet ent ance and put their own twist on red carpet glamour. However, the music didn't go as planned for seniors Carly Sinn and Rick Devoss. "We were supposed to walk into Oh Fortuna then unveil, pause, and finish with Stayin' Alive. We're both humorous and thought there was no need to take things seriously. Rick came up with the songs and I added the sheets for a more dramatic effect," said senior Carly Sinn. At 11 the dance ended. The dancers picked up their belongings at the coat check and made their way to their post-snoball destinations. In the end, Snoball was a red carpet experience for all.

After approximately 720 days, 66 finals, and too many teachers to count, high school seemed to go by a little quicker than expected. Before they knew it, seniors faced events for the last time. During the last home game, senior night honored athletes as they took a step on the field for the last time. "Our last football game was the perfect way to end the season," said Thomas. "We weren't expected to win, and then we ended up beating Carroll 16-0." The last winter break came and went with snow days and sledding. It was the last Christmas at home before college, and presents to use in college came pouring in. Finally, it sank in. Seniors realized when May appeared that some of the activities they were involved in would be their last. Most importantly, seniors took their last final. For some, they only had to take a post test. ''The last week of school was kind of easy because I only had to take two finals," said senior Stephen Bond. "The rest of my teachers didn't make the seniors take a final." While some had to take finals for the last time, most were stressing over that dreaded final English Composition paper. It was ten pages long on any subject. 'The career research paper was stressful because it had to be 1 O pages, and no one wants to type a long paper the last trimester of their senior year," said senior Damien Croghan. "The only good thing about it was that you got to choose your subject." Then, the final day came. Seniors shuttled through the halls trying to get teachers to sign them out. Others finished up on last minute class work. "When your teachers sign you out, it finally hits you that it's over," explained senior Logan Mundt. "I realized how much I'm going to miss everyone, especially Ms. Muta." With graduation quickly approaching, seniors realized everything that took place at LC. They found how to make their last moments of high school count.

Senior Kayla Gundlach Senior Year Lewis Central students had the opportunity to take a variety ~f classes in a variety of locations. "Lewis Ceritral's academics are unique in the fact that you can take classes on four different campuses including Iowa Western, Iowa School For The Deaf, Tucker Center and of course Lewis Central," said sophomore Cole Templeton. Some of the classes offered included engineering, British Literature, creative writing, clothing design, human anatomy, web page design and robotics. A fine arts type of person found British Literature or Creative Writing right up their alley. British Literature (a.k.a. Brit Lit) provided an opportunity for students to learn from instructor Victoria Freivogel. "Lets see ... we read Beowulf, Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, MacBeth, and various poets. I think the students had the hardest time reading the Canterbury Tales because it's written in Middle English, so it was a little hard to comprehend." Creative Writing was a fun class filled with writing styles, poems and stories, and of course, Laurie Nielsen. At the end of the trimester students published their poems, short stories, and essays in the class literary magazine,'The Mighty Pen.' Students with scientific brains signed up for Human Anatomy, a three term college credit class. While challenging, it was also a great chance to learn about the human body. Instead of all that deep thinking, Robotics had the tools for a focus on the future. Many students talented on the computer took Web Page Design giving students a chance to show creativity on the internet. In Clothing Design, students createf their own designs and improved the quality of their sewing. Not only did students excel in sports and academics, the graduation rate was high. While Lewis Central's average was 22, students have scored a 36 on the ACT. LC, a school with dedicated students, that pursued whatever their heart's desired: sports, theater, and academics.

Due to the huge amount of homework received the day before, many students may not fall asleep until the wee hours of the morning. No matter the case, ready or not...school comes first. There is a wide variety of things to do to get ready for school. Some students take a shower right away to wake themselves up. Others go straight to the breakfast table to get some brain food. Although it works for some, it isn't that easy for everyone. "It's very, very hard for me to wake up in the morning. After my alarm goes off, I just go back to sleep," said junior Tori VonMende. Once up and ready to go, it's time to make the journey to school. Half the time, students fight the sunrise on their way. Some take it up a notch, thinking to themselves "Why are we going to school so early, my parents don't have to go to work until 9!" Nevertheless, arrival at school poses yet another obstacle: parking. Some days a driver can get lucky and get a spot close to the door, less walking that way. Unfortunately, most aren't that lucky. Thankfully there is a huge selection of places to park. Parking far away from the school can guarantee safety, but parking in the middle is still safe and not as much walking. "It's easy to find a parking spot if you get [to school] early, but if you're late you have to park far away," said junior Shylo Thomas. With parking out of the way, it's time to make your way inside the school and chat it up with friends before the bell rings to go to class. Many students will stock up on energy drinks or food to eat during the first few hours of the day, to make sure they get enough to eat, in case they missed breakfast. Others take advantage of the little time they have with friends and spend the whole morning finding out what gossip they missed out from the night before.

Photo By: Jema Petersen Trying on shoes can be like trying out a different country; you want the perfect fit. For senior exchange students Sophia Carlo, Daniel Shenk, and Ja Ye Wang this was certainly the case. They came to the United States to study and live with a host family but each one had a different view of America. "I wanted to see if American culture is really what it looks like in the movies," said Sophia Carlo who arrived in Iowa from Montpellier, France. For JaYe Wang from Shanghai, China, it was about having a chi ldhood dream, "Since I was a kid I told my grandma I would go to the United States when I got older." Daniel Shenk from Berlin, Germany, wanted to know if it was like the movies, "I watched "American Pie" and I wanted to live like that!" Fat Americans that eat McDonalds all the time was the first impression they had. Over time their opinion changed. "Americans are friendly, they like to talk, and most of them are crazy and funny," said Shenk. While their views changed, so did their own personalities. Living together with their host fami ly, the Randolphs, impacted Wang. "Back home I don't have any brothers; Daniel [Shenk] is like my big brother. i have changed my temper because Daniel is older, so I can't yell at him." A little bit of freedom with host family, the Hills, changed Carlo, "I've matured and have become more independent, and I am more open." The daily life of an American student was one of the biggest changes. "I like that school ends at2:45.You can choose your classes; it's easy and the teachers are nice!" says Carlo. "I don't see why people don't like school here; if they went to France they wouldn't make it!" In Berlin, school is quite different. "We don't have lunch, we have shorter periods. School is from 8: 10 until 2:30. We have no school sports and no school spirit," said Shenk.

Photos Submitted Remember heading off to school with a sack lunch packed and the excitement of a field trip on the big yellow bus? Many thought this classic elementary school memory would change once they entered high school, but the truth was high school students took many field trips during the course of the school year. Elective classes and core classes had a break from the usual schedule and learned outside the classroom. "I like to go on field trips because I don't feel confined like I do in school," said sophomore Andrew Gulden. Child development went on a field trip every trimester. Mrs. Kreger took her students to the 1st National Bright Horizons Child Care Center, Jennie Edmundson Hospital to visit the birthing room, and to the Mall of the Bluffs to conduct a price comparison for common baby items at popular stores such as Target, Sears, and Dillards. The ever popular Zoology trip to the Henry Doorly Zoo with Mr. Bergman was a favorite. Students from all three trimesters of his Zoology class spent the day taking a different look at all the animals they had learned about."My favorite part of the zoo was the gorillas because they were very interactive. They ran around a lot and they were fun to watch," said junior Josh McNeely. Other field trips included the Health 2 trip to IWCC for the health and sciences conference, the freshmen trip to the Holland Center to see "Romeo and Juliet," the Woods class went to a furniture and cabinet shop, the Family Consumer Science visit to the sewage treatment plant, Iowa School for the Deaf, and the D.L.R Architectural Firm in Omaha.

Hutdlinson H ealth means different things to different people. To some it is living life to the fullest, to others it is a strict diet and exhausting exercise regimen, and to others it is a fight for their life in a hospital bed. Whatever health may be to you, it is inevitably part of your everyday life. Do teenagers get enough sleep? For most the answer is absolutely NOT (at all)! The average teenager needs about 9.5 hours a night. For the majority, this outrageous number isn't even feasible. In fact, teenagers generally get around 7.4 hours a night, a far cry from 9.5. Health includes both physical and mental ,_.,_._,_._,,._,__"-""'-'_,_,,,_,_ __ aspects. Dealing with the stress of high school can be a challenge. Not only school-work and tests, but also handling the social 'drama' can take its toll on students. "I think what stresses me out the most is living up to expectations, like how people perceive you," said junior Laurel Thoms. Exercise is a proven way to help relieve these stresses. Lewis Central's vast athletic program offers some solutions with four different gym classes: Team Activities, Personal Development, Wellness for Life, and Water Safety, not to mention any one of LC's athletic teams. But participating in at least one activity, athletic or not, can take up a large chunk of your afterschool time. Now add two hours of homework after that. Seems to leave you with more stress and even less sleep. So is the system against you? High School is all about finding that perfect balance of who you are, who you want to be, and what you want to do. The choices you make -- everyday affect your health today and for the rest of your life. Be wise.=] Pages By: Kristen Gerhardt & Andrea Hutchinson (1) PUMP IT!

While under hypnosis a person is completely focused; therefore, they are very open to suggestions. In this part of the act Dreager was convinced he was having a baby; he screamed like a person in labor would. The others scrabbled around as they tried to help him. Someone yelled ice chips while others huddled around Dreagerwaiting for the baby to arrive. Although Dreager wasn't actually having a baby, in this sleep like stimulation, the seniors believed he was. Seniors Joey Jerkovich, Adriene Hitchcock, Mallory Husz, Zane Brugenhemke, Morgan Wolff, Kailin Bellows, Mason Tsuji, Logan Mundt, Curtis Dreager, Caleb Housley, Mike Dillon, Jessica Formanek and Kendall Prine all participated in the act of hypnotism at post prom. "I knew what I said, I just didn't think about it. It was kind of whatever I thought of first is what I said," recalls senior Zane Brugenhemke. During the hypnotist's act, the seniors were asked to do make different noises. Also they were asked to become very linguistic as they spoke Japanese. Senior Caleb Housley said, "I was aware of what I was doing, I just wasn't necessarily in control.". It is said that when you wake up from a hypnotic state, you feel in control, your mind is clear, and you are no longer afraid to stand in front of audiences. "It felt good when I woke up, it felt like I had control of my actions again," said Brugenhemke. "When I first woke up I was slightly dizzy, tired, and I was praying that I didn't do something extremely embarrassing," said Housley. The only senior to walk off the floor and back to his seat in the bleachers was Mike Dillon. "I don't think I became hypnotized because I didn't believe it would work," said Dillon.When asked if they would do it again, most seniors said yes. "The videos on Facebook are hilarious of all of us. I'm glad it was good entertainment," said Prine.

Teachers tried different techniques to keep students alert: the flashy poster. Sometimes the posters were the biggest distracter, but for others they worked.

By 4th hour, the rumbles and grumbles of empty stomachs were louder than teacher's voices.

The pivotal moment in one's life: graduation. Didn't it seem like light years away? The truth is that high school goes by in a flash. Almost everyone remembers their first day of high school. The upperclassmen seemed like giants, and the school was a maze. Freshmen stuck out like a sore thumb, no one could predict what to expect. After a while, things got easier, and everyone found new friends in the upperclassmen. Freshmen, however, were still pushed to the back of the football stands. Then sophomore year quickly approached. Now, they too could finally call the youngest students "fresh meat." Finding a favorite sport or extra curricular became an adventure. High school seemed to get easier yet new challenges were still on the horizon. Cramming for ACTs, screaming babies from parenting class, and planning for college became the blur of the junior year. Parents and teachers kept asking the dreaded question: What are you going to do for the rest of your life? It was stressful, but hey, no one ever said moving forward in the football stands would be an easy task. Finally, senior status with a claim on top dog. Seniors finally got the hang of things with special privileges like sleeping in and job shadowing and dreamed of the future as the moments flew by. After four hard years, it seemed impossible that so many faces and memories could be crammed into that short of a time. Just when you thought you had high school figured out, it ended. As the seniors walked across the stage they wondered, What will the future hold for me? .. .c a> ·- CD w tn Senior Class Motto: "Whcit lies behind us cind whcit lies before us are tiny mat ters compcired to whcit lies within us." - Ralph Vvaldo Emerson Class Flower: Forget-me-not Nicole Ann Andersen Jerad Blaine f ,nderson Isaac Andrew Bamett Ka1hn Kelsea Bellows Class Song: Here's t o the Nights by Eve 6 L;iuren Ei1zabeth Androy Jordan Michael Baas Amanda Max1nt'-Kay Berg Amber I' ..ath1een Bernnqu "1 would like t o be the pre01dent bee ::iu0P. he ran do anything he wants." - Sen1ur ~ v110ur::I P-rrJ Amber Faye Buckles Cheryl Nicole Butler • Em~ Jo Campbell R,yan Christian Carlson Stephanie Coe Carner Brandon VJ11l1am Oark t'vle Sterling f,rou?hom Goodmond Harold Danielsen Katie 1¥nn Darnell "'! wou1d like to be like my gr2ndp2, bec2use he h2s h2d such an amazing impact on my life." - Senior M2son Tsuji Cul~ Taylor Canada Sophia Mane Cart::> Skyler Aaron Qark Jaclene 01nkenbeard Stephanie Ann Davids Sydr11e Nicole Dennis Curtis De.an Dre.ager JessiC<l Marie Edison laylor Edwards Alex Aaron Fauble Jakob \'layne Ferguson "I want to be like Oprah becaL.ne 0hP I:? an 01 JtgoinGJ bl.~r woman who helps t he worl(J" - ~en10 J ,f n 1 J , . ) Haley lynn Gregory Sara Knsc1ne Gnmes Zachary David Grothe Kayla Dawn Gundlach ".,y1e Dai Id Herren Andi Lee H1gg1nbotham Brandi Lee Higgins Adnene Jeanine Hitchcock I wleo Jam~s Housley Mallory Ann Husz George lvano11 "I want to become ci successful soldier cind cin ciccomplished person." - Senior Stephanie Ccirrier Bnan Theodore Jacobs Jennifer Mane Hall Hannah Raye Hopson Joserh Pciul Jerl-Ov1ch Matthew Robert Kohl Michele Knstlne Kohlscheen Andrew lv11chael L3fferty Rebecca Jo Lline Lisa Ann Lea~y "I want to be able to help kids and rnake th~rn rea111e th~ can do anything they want." - s~l 1' )( Jr 1 r :--;;or Jessica Sue Meurer Ben Scott Moffatt Adam Lee Mouw James Christian Neeson Scott Alan Nelson Lisa Nguyen CddtP, Lee I loaner RG!chelle l,ynne Osborn Ahsha Marie ~l erton Matthew Scott Federsen "! wou1d like t o become ci police officer, so I c2n protect 2nd ~t'"ve the cit izens of my country" - Senior Cody Kempf Logan Thomas Mundt Allen James Murray Derek Alvin N1ghtser Alex Lee Noecker Kristin Kelh ~rent Hannah Cathenne ~trick Carlos Roberto Ftre.z Marcos Chnstian Ftre.z Miguel Angel Vargas ferez Bailey Jade ferryman Haley Mane fhmge Kendall Kay Fhne Bryant Logan Rose Stephanie Mane Rowe Duong Hoang Pham Scott Alan F'hi malee Melissa Nicole ftlml':rleau Matthew Phillip Quaas Jennifer Jean Ranek Justin Edwari:I IG:lu Hilary Lynn Sadler Leot>ardo Alejandro Sandov ;I "When I get older, I will be content knowinr, that, rYJY arrib1t1or 1"'.:) have far exceeded my talent." - ,_)P.r ior t yir: t ~P.:n Fn j Daniel Burl(hard Schenk Rachel Ann Schultz Thomas Tyler Schulze Connie Jean Smith Kevin Michael Smith "1 want to become a pediatric nurse because I like taking 1 rr of people, and I love kids." - Senior Jordan Baas Danan Johnathon Scott Nicole Mane Smith Taylour Josef Sousa Nathan Llirry Thomas l.achery Fntl:lohn Thomas Derek l//.ayne Thompson Albin John Thramer Alex Shea Traeger Hannah Mane \'/ashburn "vVhen l grow up l want to be like D~ve the tr that is what I'm going t o college -for' - -J--; -, I "· /hen I get o!der I want t o own my own landscaping business." - Senior Brian Jacobs "I want to be married to a famous actn,. ~nrJ 1e ri Ho yv\cu J" - Senior KriSL1G1 1. 1 1 f, '"'. 1v1ant to become an actor and create an environment for t ! ·;.JP, 1nter·ested in perform ing arts." - Sen ior Eddie Nooner I l\/lost [ikel~ l!J Logan Mur;iet C> .. - • I ..

They were there to say goodbye to four years of high school and eighteen years of memories. In the year before, seniors prepared in many different ways for this day. Senior pictures were a big deal. "I picked out a couple different outfits w-hen I got my senior pictures done. We made sure that we took them on a nice day,"said senior Joey Jerkovich. "They are a big thing, and you want to make sure that they are right." Graduation parties took a lot of planning. With all of the food, family, friends, decorations, and pictures, parents became easily tired. Not only did students worry about their own parties, they tried to figure out a schedule to spend a little time at everyone else's as well. "Graduation parties were ridiculous. There were over 15 that I had to go to in one day," said senior Kelsey Cox. "I had to do some planning to get to all of them." After thirteen years of tests, late night bus rides, and too many memories to count, seniors were finally able to be finished. Some were estatic that they would be leaving, "I'm exicted to be leaving home to go to college. I've been waiting 18 years-to be this independent," said senior Josh Stroeher. "They only thing I'm nervous about being on my own is paying the bills." Other seniors were sad for the times they were leavihg behind. "The greatest part of graduation was the feeling that it was over, but there's a lot of things and people that I'm never going to forget," said senior Justin Rau. In the end, graduation was the end of high school, but the beginning of everything else.

Basketball, Baseball, Volleyball, Track. What is it about sports that made students crazy all year long? Practices were long and hard; at points it could've been so easy to quit. In the end, it was all worth it, just to see the final scoreboard. Sports started with that terrible first week of practices. The coaches were strict, telling players that they needed more. Conditioning was the main goal, one of the most dreaded words in athletics. Trips to Trainer Dave became a regular after hard practices. After the first week went by, everything seemed to get a little better. Next, that crucial first game arrived. Stomachs were in knots, and nerves were going crazy. When that first step was taken onto that field, everything changed. There were no nerves, just spirit. In all of the match ups, the rivals met. Both teams lined up across the courts and fields from one another; each stand packed with fans. Tensions ran high when it seemed like everything was on the line. The games, more like battles, determined the winners and losers. The trophies bought bragging rights for the next year. The last big game in all sports was the. final home game. Seniors made it a priority to see that the final scoreboard screamed WIN. Parents packed in the stands to see their child's last match as a high school student. With the end of the season came the last team dinner. Coaches handed out awards for the top performances, and showed off the best parts of the season. Students achieved the desired varsity letter that they worked so hard for. Win or lose, goals of the season were met. Looking back, sports were a major part of the school. Yes, practices were hard, but they challenged athletes to better themselves. All of the late night study sessions, conditioning, and long bus rides were nothing when compared to the Titan-crazed fans that came to every game, parents who put on spaghetti dinners for every game, and coaches who spent many hours building confidence and ability in their athletes. It was very easy to see why people loved sports at Lewis Central. • • BEcQ®Qfrrs~ B ig wins and small losses is a great explanation of how the Titans would describe their season. "We had some inexperience on the team this year. Everyone had to step up and prove they belonged," said junior Austin Blay. "We all had tons of fun. There was never a dull day of practice," said junior Pat Gillespie. Hopes for reaching state were gone after losing to both Saint Albert's and Denison, but the team still persevered. The team fought back and got a huge win against Perry. The Titans took on more team strategy in the way they had played. After the loss to Glenwood, the team's next challenge was to play Carroll, who already qualified for state. "We all knew about their record, how good they were, and we knew even if we did win that there was no way we were going to state. It was our last game and there was no way we were just going to give up," said senior Zane Brugenhemke. That night turned out to be one of the biggest upsets in D-8 football when the Titans came out on top 16-0 over the Tigers. "This was a great group of guys that were a lot of fun to be around," said Coach Sterbick. The team was always preaching about how even if their record was not as good as recent years, they had become a tea.m who trusted and cared for one another. The determination and loyalty was more important than any number of wins on a record sheet. PUMP IT UP Getting his teammates ready to play hard, junior Matt Sharp puts on his game face. In his first year playing varsity, Sharp contributed to the team in many ways. When asked if his leadership was an asset to the team he said, "Yes, because I tell people where to step in and when Al Thramer was gone I took charge so the team would stay focused." Photo by: Josh McNeely SCRAMBLE Fighting throu gh their rivals, the Titans use teamwork to defend the,r field. "Hanafan always tells us that , .. the best weapon is our own teartl," ' said senior captain Jackson Dick. The captains' leadership helped develop , the athletes individually and as a team. "The best part of being a team leader is knowing I helped lead the team. I get to look back and say I was captain with Justin Rau and Derek Nightser• said senior captain Al Thramer.

"When Hanafan's face turns purple. you know it's time to step it up," said defensive linebacker Brandon Harman. Defensive coach Chris Hanafan was described as inspiring and intense. When the players were asked how he encourages them senior Nate Thomas said, "He's a motivator. That's why he is such a great coach." Photo by: Josh McNeely Rushing to the opponent, senior Alex Fauble jumps in for a tackle. After takin two years, Fauble returned to put the final touch on his sen1 r year. When sk if his leadership was an asset to the team he replied with, Yes t.Jecause I try get everyone mentally prepared." T~EBI G OEBATE Whose practice is harder? Offense or Defense? "Getting everyone to work together and cooperate as a team makes our practice challenging," said senior Cody Kempf. "I think they are equal because one is more physical and the other more me ntal. It's eas ier to remember what you have to do on defense, but there is a lot of hitting. Offense may not be be as physical, but it is B 0 T 1-l harder to remember the plays," commented senior captain Justin Rau. "Our practice is harder because we have to do Maytiows," said senior captain Derek Nightser. Maytiows are runn ing dril ls that require the athletes to run across the field, drop down and do push-ups wheri the whistle is blown.

Photo by:Josh McNeely The fall 2007 volleyball season was tough, but an overall blast for the team! "I thought we played good. We started out rough but came together,'' said sophomore Emily Morgan. With seven wins and three losses, the team showed how they could work together and maintain a closeness that helped them persevere throughout the season. "I think we bond more by sitting and talking together, like when we eat food,'' says senior Rachel Schultz. Team dinners are just one example of coming together to bond. It all came down to "Everybody getting together and having fun,'' said senior Jamie Swisher. What do you like most about volleyball? Sophomore Emily Morgan replied, "How it's way different than any other sport; it's harderthan it sounds, and the score can change so quickly. There is so much more to it than people think:' A common thing most players look forward to in the season is districts. 'We get so pumped up! Districts are the funnest part of the season" says sophomore Hayleigh Hansen. Even though it was a good season, there was a possible set back. ''The worst memory was breaking my ankle. I was out for more than half of the season. I was doing a quick back set (71) [a set delivered behind the setters back which is then hit by an attacker]. Kristi Gamble stepped back for balance, and I fell on her,'' said junior Kelsey Tech. Although it worked out in the end, it will always be something that the team can look back on.

The sport that can't get enough of the Iowa Loess Hills just keeps getting better as each year passes. The cross country team ran its way to fame this season with its senior all star line up, including Jaci Clinkenbeard, Jenny Hall, Grady Martin, Duong Pham, Hilary Sadler, Connie Smith, and Rosalie Warner. "We struggled throughout the middle of the season, mainly because of injuries and inexperience, but our best meet had to be at the Hawkeye 10 Conference. That was really important to us because that meet was the one we make a point to do well at," said Coach Joe Ankenbauer. The cross country team's rewards weren't just handed to them on a silver platter. The boys and girls wentthrough hours of grueling practices, almost everyday after school. Every once in awhile, it would rain and they got a free day to relax. "The worst thing that we had to do this year for cross country practice was going up Titan Hill after a long day of sprinting and jogging," said senior Hilary Sadler. Overall the team's biggest achievement was 4th place at the all conference meet. With seven seniors leaving after this year many underclassmen are curious as to see what next season will hold for them.

Introduced new drills and equipment, the team was more than ready to start the season. The new improvements included new lane ropes and / flags for the pool. The swimmers also practiced with snorkels, which helped them to work on and improve I their strokes. 1 The girls swim team had a small team compared I to previous years. Even so, the four seniors, seven sophomores, and one freshman made a big splash. "I think we bonded more this year than the last. I think people felt more supported since the team was smaller:· said sophomore Megan Reif. The team kept their three year dual meet record, staying undefeated. With eleven returning swimmers you have to wonder what the lone freshman felt. "The upperclassmen were actually really nice. I didn't feel 1 excluded at all," said freshman Whitney Androy. With only one freshman going out for the team, Matt Howell proved to be the difference for the Titan boys swimmers. Howell broke the 500 yard freestyle record held by Colin Luth, at his first meet. He kept it going by breaking his own record over and over again almost every meet he swam the event, with a record best or 4:52. Howell also broke the Titan's pool record in the 200 yard freestyle. He ended up being the only one t make it to state on the team and finished 16th and 9th in the 200 yd and 500 yd freestyles respectively. Adding to the team's victories was the city championship.

My favorite part is playing defense on the opposing team's best player," said Higgins. Photo by: Josh McNeely Every school has a rival. After years of stinging defeats, Harlan was the team to beat. All players went into game night with the hope that this would be the night that the Titans would finally beat the Cyclones. The night began with the stands packed and everyone on their feet anticipating the long awaited game. As the starting line up was announced, tensions peaked as choir members sang the national anthem. The buzzer sounded and the Titans were ready to attack. With a mixture of dribbling, passing, and shooting, the Titans continued to put more and more points on the board. "At half-time, the emotions were high because we knew we had a chance to break the Cyclone winning streak," said junior guard Nate Jones. The packed gym boomed with chants from the student section. That is until senior Marcos Perez was knocked down and hurt by a Cyclone post player. Suddenly, all the fans got down on one knee. Perez withdrew from the game and the students rose again. The team continued their fight minus one of the twin towers. In the end, the Titans put another victory in the books with a final score of 62-53. The excited fans sprinted from the stands to celebrate with the team. "The greatest moment was when we started storming the court. I was the first one out there because I left my seat with two seconds still on the clock," said junior D.J. Gnader. The Titans set many records this season, the most wins with a record of 21 -3 and claimed the title of Hawk 1 O Champs for the first time in school history. Pages by: Mackenzie Means and Tyler Johnson BE~~[( Athunderous voice reverberated off the gym walls, "Quick feet, hands up, trap trap trap!" One glance inside the gym and an entirely different world appeared out of the woodwork: girl's basketball. The strategic movements of feet and arms became hypnotic as the perspiring concentration was wiped away with the driest part of the jersey. What were the perks of partaking in this intense sport? "The food we have at the team dinners is always fantastic, plus, we get to hang out and just enjoy being with each other," said sophomore and post Hayleigh Hansen. While the food may have been great, the next night approached fast and the girls could hardly wait to lace up their shoes and storm the court. The varsity team had quite a year, ending the season with an 18 - 5 record. With the loss of five players, but the addition of seven, the girls were in high hopes of a successful season. "Our team really wanted to win the Hawkeye 10, and then of course our goal was to make it to State," said junior and post Kristin Waters. This team of 15 led the school to a greatly anticipated victory over the Denison Monarchs. "When we lost to Denison the first time in triple overtime it was hard because we'd played our hearts out. So when they came to our court we were ready for a little payback. It was a big win and we kept them from winning the conference. I think it really made us realize our team's potential and it felt pretty dang good," said junior and post Arielle Bowman. Though the highlights were many, sophomore and guard Kendra Forristall clearly recalled this season's finest moment for he(self. "My favorite part of this season was how close our team became, some get more playing time but we're a team and that's what really matters."

But the wrestlers started getting pumped up long before their matches began. Listening to music, jumping around and stretching were normal warm- up routines. "The moment I walk onto the mat I am focused and ready to go," said sophomore Tyler Butler. Screaming for teammates relieved stress before a match and got adrenalin going. "We do a lot of mental training to get focused for a match. Everyone pretty much has their own way of warming up. I just find something that makes me mad to use to my advantage during the match," said junior Kyle Mohr. Watching the 13 other matches helped them get focused on what needed to get done when their turn came around. The devotion of a wrestler is that of no other athlete. They go through the tough training and at the same time, the frustration of making sure to stay in their desired weight class. "I didn't have to cut any weight, so I had a GREAT season. While everyone else on the team was running, I was eating with all of the coaches," said junior Bret Baumbach. The competition to maintain Lewis Central's reputation of an outstanding wrestling program and record of most pinned state champions added pressure on the athletes. Joey Jerkovich, Elijah Sullivan, George Ivanov, Bret Baumbach, Josh Cottman, Alex Fauble, Justin Rau, and Derek Nightser all qualified to go to the Wells Fargo arena in Des Moines for State Competition. Nightser (189 lb.) and Ivanov (119 lb.) both placed third. Rau , Baumbach and Jerkovich all made it to finals where a few of the most intense matches were taken to the mats. Rau (171 lb.) and Baumbach (135 lb.) were second place state finalists and Jerkovich came out on top as the 103 lb class 3A State Champion. The never ending stories of the road trips, and hotel stays in Des Moines for state competition continued to be told by families, friends and supporting classmates. "I have been going to state for two years and it's always a lot of fun. Being in the arena and watching all of the parents q ,t o excited is real ly fun to watch and be a part of." said 1un1or Jessica Feller. GET RAU-DY In a pivotal match of the season, senior Justin Rau (171 lb.)attempts to turn his Skutt opponent over for a win. Rau made it to state three out of four years of his wrestling career.

Traditions spark the excitement of team bonding for the squad on these exciting days of athleticism and school spirit. First, the team meets up goes out to dinner. "We usually go to the mall to eat and goof around," said senior Adriene Hitchcock. Afterward, they usually gather at one of their houses to get their game faces on. Blue glitter and eye make-up give them the extra shine to sparkle on the field, court, or mat. Ribbons and curls top off their spirited look. Then, they hop in their cars and caravan to the school. "We drive on the road behind the field while honking our horns, playing loud music, and shaking our porn porns out the window so everyone knows we've arrived;· explained Hitchcock. In honor of good sportsmanship, the girls make little gifts for the opposing team's cheerleaders to welcome them to their turf. Once they've done their greeting, they head back to their side of the stadium to begin warm-ups. Throughout the game they dance and shout to raise the spirit of the crowd. "When the students cheer and show their support, it helps our sports teams and everyone has a lot more fun ," said junior Ashley Harris. At the end of every game, no matter the outcome, the girls finish with the "We are proud of you" cheer.

Eight of the 17 girls from LCDT knew that feeling including: juniors Shaley McKeever, Alysha Rau and Lora Riehle, sophomores Kealy Prine and Katie Thramer, and freshmen Tayler Snitchker, Taylor Fauble and Sarni Schafer. "It was great to be a freshmen and still get to go, because it's mostly juniors and seniors that go," said freshman Taylor Fauble. On the annual trip to state, they received all Division I ratings and had two of their soloists place out of 70 dancers. Sophomore Kealy Prine placed 8th and fresh· man Tayler Snitchker placed 2nd. "State is so much fun! The floor shook when all the girls screamed!" said junior Josh McNeely. Unity is something all teams strive for. "The team does so much together between practices, team bonding, trips and performances. Our team is so close because we see each other everyday; we are like a family. Once I made dance team, I knew I would do it all four years because I loved the close friendships that formed wit l my teammates!" said junior Alysha Rau. Bonding was another way this team became closer. One way the dance team bonded was by making signs for each other. They made these signs to try to avoid drama or conflict. Some said things like: Dancing with the feet is one thing but dancing with the heart is another. Dancing is the poetry of the heart, The only place where success comes before work is in the dictionary· and Everyone brings something to the team but no one brings everything. "We don't have to worry about playing time because we're all equal; we can't rely 011 one per n,'' said fresh man Sarni Schafer. What to Wear Her Attitude First impressions are vital.

The scoring may have come down to the final race, but the whole team contributed when it came to taking the meet. Placing high in all of their events, the team was neck and neck with the Saint Albert team. The girls placed third in the 4x400 meter relay that put them in the spot to win. Chanting "We are the Titans," they took their victory lap. "It felt good to win the meet because I didn't have the greatest senior season. It was a pleasant surprise," said senior Jenny Hall. The team also gained a new school record in the 400 meter hurdles. Freshman Natalie Olberding beat the old school record, and beat her own· twice. "I was really proud of myself, since I just came here from Saint Albert. I didn't expect to get a L.C. record. It's something I'll never forget," said Olberding.

Success: no, failure: definitely not, boring: way off. No, if you asked any of the players, more than likely the reply would have been "Fun." From newly created plays entitled the "Von Mende shimmy," to taking the meaning of the old saying, "go out there and have some fun" to a whole new level, the team had fun. It's nice, [having a play named after me] it leaves my mark on Lewis Central soccer. I appreciate that," said senior Tommy Von Mende. Nicknames were, as usual, created for most of the underclassmen. One of the team favorites was given to freshman Sam Moffatt, who came to be known as the one and only "Samu Mo' fat." "It started with my brother (senior Ben Moffatt) and I don't like it." Sam Moffatt says. When asked how it took hold on the soccer team, Sam had quite the story. "Well, I was playing JV and varsity one day, (the Harlan game) and I get hungry, so I ate some nachos at half-time. I don't care about the name much anymore, it doesn't bother me." Junior Kyle Larkin retells his side of the story. "Yeah that was pretty funny. Sid [Coach Leytham] saw him with the nachos and he kind a freake d o ut.

"Shoot the upper 90" coaches say on the sidelines. "Give and go through" is said countless times on the field, but no matter what the coaches say two yellow cards equal one red card. This season the girls on the varsity squad knew this math all too well, receiving their fair share of yellow cards. There were many ways to receive red and yellow cards including inappropriate language, rough play, and intentional slide tackles. Along with receiving a yellow card came ten minutes of sitting the bench until the player could be put back in the game. Red cards meant a player was ejected from the rest of the game and remained ineligible to play the next game. A red card was also issued when a player got two yellow cards. While red and yellow cards were a part of the game, a sense of humor came in handy for some of the players. "Being a Hawkeye 1 O camps is awesome but nothing is better than still being the depantsing champion of the world. "Khazickstan Forever!" said junior Abby Edwards. Being nearly undefeated put the Titans on the target to beat. The girls brought home the Hawkeye 1 O Championship title for the second year in a row. They came out with a winning season and 9-1 record. Pages by Kurstin Devine and Kaitlyn Connealy Photos By Josh McNeely Front Row: Brandon Wilson, Michael Kirchner, Jay Hildreth and Hunter Rogness.

All the varsity members from the year before gone each spot was up for grabs. And for the boys, with the more players going out, competition grew throughout the season. "The best psrt for me was the competition. It pushed mB to do the best I could and be the best I could be," said freshman Michael McGuire. Some special bonds formed during the season for many athletes. Friends became closer and new friendships formed. An even stronger bond formed with sisters junior Ashley and freshman Meghan Harris. "I like playing with my sister. By playing tennis we both get to do something we really Harris love while spending time together," said Meghan. A great friendship thrived on the boy's team between four year player Jess Boese and rookie Ryan Carlson. "This is my first year and I do it all for this guy right here,'' said Carlson gesturing to Boese. Although this is a sport where each player wins or loses by himself, it's also a sport all about the team. It takes five individual victories to win a meet. So as awesome as winning a match may feel, at the end of the night it came down to which team could pull through. "I like tennis because it is the only sport where you can shine as an individual and win as a team,'' said senior Kristi Gamble.

Be Patient Though it may not be the most exciting of spectator sports, golf proved itself to be a challenging, fun and sometimes frustrating game to play. "It takes a lot of patience. You can't take every shot seriously. If you have a bad shot or a bad roll you just have to let it go. Some people get all frustrated , but if you keep your cool you'll be better off," said senior Joey Jerkovich. The golfers had great scores and a lot of fun throughout the season. Many of them enjoyed the perks of the game. "Practice is short. No running. [We] get to miss a whole day of school a lot. We are always laughing, especially when Arielle quits three times a day then magically rejoins the team in seconds," said freshman Jessie Safarik. Though some may have made it seem like all fun and games, there were some difficulties that they had to overcome. "The hardest things in golf are being consistent with your swing, not throwing the clubs when you aren't shooting right and deciding whether to have fries before, during or after," explained freshman Becky Safarik. All in all, the players kept up the intensity all season. They worked hard, played hard, and laughed hard along the way. Pages by Caitlin Christensen What a day for a daydream - more like what a day for a rainstorm. The dedicated athletes participating in the 2008 Special Olympics, held at Iowa Western, faced the rainy conditions of the day head-on. Many schools didn't even bother to show up due to the weather, but Lewis Central athletes didn't mind a little wind and rain. The day started around nine in the morning with the opening ceremonies, torch lighting included. The early events such as the softball and tennis ball throws and the shot put were held indoors. Later events were able to be held on the track. On April 17th, 18Titans participated in the Southwest Iowa's Special Olympics, nine of which went to state. Those nine included Aaron Fish for the softball throw, Richard Fish forthe softball throw, Tylor Mueller for the 50m Dash, James Neeson for the softball throw, Matt Pedersen for the shot put, Peyton Poast for the 30m motorized race, Jordan Quick for the softball throw and Erik Warren for the tennis ball throw. Out of the fourteen southwest Iowa schools that competed, Lewis Central had the most competitors. When announcing schools before the games began, the announcer pointed out that 'Lewis Central took up a lot of the bleachers.' Competing wasn't the only thing on their minds though. "My favorite part was seeing my friends," said freshman Dillon Sterba. "I liked standing up and being recognized," said junior Heather Robertson. "I liked the softball throw," added junior Jessica Bogacz. Pages By: Jema Petersen and Andrea Hutchinson I GET 'R DONE!

Satisfaction (noun) - the feeling of pleasure that comes when a need or desire is fulfilled. For most teams winning a game or playing well would be enough to provide this feeling, but this season was about so much more. Using the motto "Never Satisfied" the boys pushed it to the limit everyday that they stepped onto the field. With two seniors and many underclassmen on the team, each player had different thoughts in mind. "I love knowing I can be a leader. This is my last year and I want to go out with a bang," said senior Cody Kempf. With the shortage of seniors, underclassmen were expected to take their game to the next level. "This year we really had to step it up as young athletes, but you can never give up on something you believe in," said sophomore Denver Lohnes. Athletes need inspiration to keep them motivated throughout the game. For some it was the drive to win, for others it was the thrill of playing in front of a crowd that kept them going. "The greatest feeling is playing underneath the lights with everyone watching you," said sophomore Alex Martinez. Making errors was just part of the game. "Baseball is a game of negatives. Each athlete needs to know how to control their actions and limit their mistakes. The team that makes the least mistakes will win the game," said junior Taylor Burton. Baseball is a game not about the individual but about the team, and with a strong team each individual will succeed. Together mistakes are forgotten and games are won. "You have to 'Flush It.' Don't think about your mistakes, shake them off and work hard because if you work hard, good things will happen," said sophomore Trevor Ryba.

"Baseball is a really fun sport. You have to be talented at what you do. We are a young team and a lot of improvements need to be made. The team goal is to win our conference and make it to sub state and hopefully go all the way to state. When we don't have games, we practice three hours a night. The conditioning is the only tiring part, but I like the feeling of being a key part of the team and doing my share. I wear the Titan colors with pride," said Sass. Catcher and sophomore Norman Taylor throws off his face mask as he waits for a possible toss in from the pitcher. "This season is different from others because our team is young and will be around for the next few years. We have a lot of talent and potential," said Taylor. OUT AT FIRST First base man junior Cory Elonich tags the runner at first. Elonich contributed through hard work and determination. "My main job is to catch the ball, but it's hard because I have to know all of the plays," said Elonich. I KEEP ON GOING Rounding out first, freshman Paityn Korner steps on over to second base. Korner played infield for the Titans. TEAMWORK Setting up the game plan, junior Kristin Waters, senior Allie Frost and junior Sammi Cedillo place their hands in the circle of teammates. Cedillo came to LC from Abraham Lincoln, now playing against the Titan's main competitors for the All City title. Junior Kristin Waters Starting the season off right, the softball team came out with a victory against Carroll. The team worked very hard before their first game and earned their win by giving it their all everyday at practices and preparing for the match. "We practiced a lot; we did drills to make our skills better," said junior Jessica Feller. Going into this season, the softball team had plenty of ' motivation to match the success from last year. Almost making it to state last year, the girls were determined to go all the way this year. "We are very motivated because we were so close last year. Now we really want it, it's our main goal," said sophomore Jordan Morgan. Holding the title of City Champs for three years in a row, the team had plenty of competition this season. Each school has had more and more motivation each season to win over the title, but Lewis Central continued to pull through. "We want to keep proving to AL that we are better than them no matter what they think, especially after we creamed them in the regional game last year," said sophomore Brittnie Kreiser. Staying in shape and running as many drills as possible at practices was important to the team in order to have the skills necessary to defeat the competition Practices ran for two and a half to three hours, five days a week. The extra work paid off sending the team to state competition. "We practiced really hard. We do diving drills a lot and push each other to stay motivated," said junior Kristin Waters. r , Gl1 ME IF fOU CAN After swinging toward the outfield, freshman Taylor Kenyon darts to first base.

From dances to plays, concerts to pep rallies, the Lewis Central Fine Arts Department ensured that high school was entertaining. Students spent their extra time creating outstanding shows and amazing functions. The leaders of tomorrow, Student Council and National Honors Society, put their heads together to bring student dances, candy cane fundraisers, and the always popular Mr. LC. The Toy Drive, Operation Bedtime, and Angel Tree were just some of the fundraisers that benefitted children and shelters in the area. Thanks to the Art Club, walls in the hallways were no longer white. Colorful murals of musical notes and dancing filled the walls by the choir room. Speaking of the choir room, songs boomed from inside daily. Visitors heard songs such as "Just around the River Bend" from the movie Pocahontas. After hours and hours of careful planning, long Saturdays, and difficult construction, tech days paid off. Productions of Broadway hits Thieves and Godspell from the Drama Department brought audiences both comical and tragic adventures. This year, sporting events were a little louder with the ,band's own version of "What's This?" from the classic, A Nightmare Before Christmas and Eye of the Tiger . . . · With everything going on, it was hard to remember it all, P...--- --::.--: but the newspaper and yearbook staff were on it.

It was the students' show now, the test of true talent. The theater doors open, and seven weeks worth of work pour into the audience . . A whirlwind of relationships hits the stage. A young teacher named Sally, played by Jessica Formanek, finds herself caught between her declining marriage and her love for teaching. Her husband Martin, played by Caleb Housley, struggles to move on from his complicated past and live in the present. Because of Martin and Sally's relationship, many of the characters' lives were changed forever. But before these scenes from the past could take place, students had to step up to the plate to maintain this tradition of excellence. Opening night was the product of something much larger though, a process few people see. The seven week process, and countless hours of work produced a revolving building, a 12 foot balcony, and two patios. The majority of this construction took place on Tech Days. "Tech days are on Saturdays, and you usually spend between 4-12 hours building, sawing, painting, etc. You have a lot of time to bond with the other team members," said senior and returning member, Brett Coon. In addition to the set, actors busied themselves creating the play itself. The foundation of any activity is practice. The Thieves team practiced for three hours everyday after school, or during all-calls, which is when everyone in the team would meet. Actors spent the time memorizing, rewriting lines, and all-in-all just basking in anxiety. The saying, "the destination compares little to the journey" proves to be incredibly true in the 2007 production of Thieves. Students came out of this process feeling just a little bit differently about the world, and a little more aware. And that my friends, is what makes the entire journey worthwhile. Pages by: Mackenzie Means and Lauren Petri BE ~elodius Aspotlight hit the top of the abandoned church stairs as the booming voice of God, played by sophomore Zach Pettepier, filled the auditorium. This set the stage for the production of "Godspell." As actors donned with colorful outfits took the stage, a plethora of emotions took place. Disciples playfully acted out parables from the Bible as Jesus, played by junior Ben Rausch, led the disciples in the Christian way of thinking. The show began with John the Baptist, played by Zach Mailahn, frantically trying to break through the barriers of the modern day world. Mailahn preached of the coming of Jesus to the masses, who eventually started to catch on. As disciples gathered around Jesus to receive communion, the once clowned clad ensemble members became the essence of Satan, accusing and trying to anger Jesus. As Jesus took the full sized cross from their hands, choosing to give himself so that others could live, the ensemble members lifted him onto the cross. As Rausch belted out the finale song, many people, onstage and off, lost themselves in the scene. Audience members wiped away tears as ensemble members and disciples carried Jesus through the park gate where he disappeared as the spotlight hit the top of the now new church stairs. Actors busily transformed back into the peC?ple of a modern day world, walking throughout the audience, oblivious to the world around them. Rausch, now in modern day clothes, handed a flower to disciple, Kristen Schweer, and simply said "this is the beginning." The show ended with the entire cast singing "Beautiful City," a song about getting a fresh start and maintaining a unity between all people. Pages by: Lauren Petri In the Making MEASURE IT OUT Senior Zach Mailan and sophomore Mark Hamilton measure out a peice of wood for set design.

''The song was easy to get into, but it was hard not to laugh," said sophomore Jordan Morgan. Photo by: Anne Morgan The lights within the auditorium dimmed as the full fledged conversations simmered to hushed voices. Rows of high school students filed onto the risers and silence followed. Directors Brian Johnson and Tamra Nally walked onto the stage and faced the rows of students. The baton was lifted in suspension, then took off with the music. The Lewis Central Vocal Department has always been known for its excellence, and this year was no exception with the addition of many talented students. "What I like most about the choir concerts was showing up late to every one, but I always managed to be in the right spot on the risers," said senior Curtis Dreager. While the concerts were the final product, the real work was done in class. Three class periods a day were devoted to the freshmen, concert and chamber choirs. This year's freshmen brought a new kind of energy to the choir atmosphere. "They have such a willingness to learn; it's an exciting class," said Nally. Throughouttheiryearthey learned breathing techniques, how to shape their vowels, and how to read basic notes. "Choir was harder this year because you actually have to open your mouth and sing the songs. In middle school we kind of just sat there," said freshman Kelsay Kipe. The concert choir came out with a group of about 80 students attending All City Choir Festival this winter. Having more students attend made all of the students more eager to go. Students all across the city took a bus to Thomas Jefferson High School and were directed by a chosen conductor all day. That night they performed a concert for all of the parents. "We learned good posture, air support and dynamics. It was fun because all the schools act together," said sophomore Nolan Mescher. Each student came out of the classroom a little more prepared for the future than they were before they walked in. THE PRESSURE'S ON Putting emotion into her solo, senior Rachel Schultz sings her heart out. "Whenever I sing a solo, I feel confident until about 30 seconds before. I then start to get really nervous and my hands start to shake a little. After I begin to sing the solo, the nervous feeling goes away and I just have fun with it."

The music department just happened to be a big part of the show. "And that's cool," says junior Jared Juel. The Titan Jazz orchestra played for a new audience. The video was available toi view on WOVl/T's website, www.wowt.com. "Nobody else would raise their hand to be interviewed when Malorie [Maddox] asked," said sophomore Kyle Wineland, "so I decided to jump in." Malorie Maddox interviewed three different departments: music, pottery, and engineering.The music being played was lively and well rehearsed. "Playing for Malorie was very exciting," stated instructor, Andy Walters, "Everyone knew their part and played like the champions I know them to be." After interviewing Mr. Walters and sophomore Kyle Wineland, the cameraman took video of each individual section, getting close-ups of their instrument, shoes and their sheets of music. The segments were used throughout the taping for fun little sneak peeks. "When you are in jazz orchestra you have to be serious," said sophomore Molly Cox, "It was really hard to play and not laugh while the camera was in front of my keyboard, going in all different directions." The performance had to come to an end, and after playing for twenty minutes the orchestra changed out of their dress clothes and went back to their classes. It was an exciting experience for all. "It was weird watching myself on the television," said senior Kristen Parent "But it was the first time I have ' watched myself on the news. It was exhilarating to watch the performance. I actually saw everyone play. We normally don't watch each other. It is getting yourself to play the right notes and knowing that the other players will do theirs too." The camera crews went on to tape in the pottery and engineering classes, but the music just wasn't the same.

Photo by· Mackenzie Means I t's about that adrenaline rush you get from performing on stage, competing with other schools, and meeting new people who share the same interests. It's about expressing yourself with singing and dancing. It's about putting on a pound of makeup and showing off that inner diva or diva. Lewis Corporation was all of . those things, and much more to those involved with it. Performing was only the half of it, the better half anyway. Corp rehearsal started in the last week of July. This was referred to as "hell week" by members of the ensemble. "It's actually a lot of fun, despite not having air conditioning," said sophomore Andrew Gulden. The week ended with a performance put on for parents and family. Once school started up, the group met once a week and the occasional Saturday. Rehearsals were split between learning four unique music pieces, and learning difficult choreography. With the addition of Choreographer Stephen Todd, students had high hopes for their dance moves. "Our choreography was amazing, and Stephen brought a unity and stability to our group that we hadn't had in previous years," said senior Michael Lively. As the year progressed, competition season drew near and the hard work began to pay off. "The best moment was making finals at Grand Island. Everyone was completely shocked when they announced us. There was a three second delay and then a collective breath taken in," said senior Morgan Wolff. Moments like this are what linger years after high school. The split seconds captured forever in time. "Corp was an amazing experience; I wouldn't trade it for the world," said senior Zach Mailan summing up the season.

It could come from a dream, an interesting-looking person, a childhood memory, song lyrics or even a cloud of smoke drifting across the afternoon sky. It could be any- : thing that sparks the imagination of a creative mind. Once . the idea has become more solid and thought through, it's time to bring life to the vision. In pottery, project-making was a long process. First, the clay was made. ''To begin we take big fifty pound bags of clay powder, and mix them in a big drum in the back. From there we, take a couple of the buckets of recycled clay and throw 1 it in the mixer with a bunch of the powder in the drum, and that mixes it all up. Once it's all mixed we take it to the pug mill, which is basically a big drill then removes all the air and kind of compacts it, makes it all homogenous. Then we make big bricks out of it," explained senior Rick Devoss. Next the project is planned and sculpted. 'When I made my "Let it Be" project, to start off with I picked out a font from the internet that I liked. From there, I made big letters with that font. And then, I rolled out the clay. I also mixed a bunch of sand in the clay to make it stronger. Then I cut it out and let it dry a bit. Next, I slip and scored the 'B-E' to the base and cut out the 'Let it' and slip and scored that to its base. So then we bisque fired it in the kiln," continued De Voss. After the project was fired the first time, it was ready to be glazed or painted. ''The painting was next, which was probably the hardest part. I decided to do it with air brush because I'm not a good painter. So I taped off the parts that I painted different colors. Then to finish it off, I hand-painted the lyrics of 'Let it Be' on it," said De Voss. Devoss, like rnany other artists started with a Vision within that he transformed into art.

Individual speech, like large group, was full of talent. Twelve individual speechers made it to state including sophomore Molly Cox who also participated in large group. "Large group is fun and you have a really good time. In individual you learn how to improve yourself and it's fun to see the change," explained Cox.

They were the ones who created the yearbook with the impossible goal of including everyone in it, and documenting the events people will remember 30 years from now. For the first time in Lewis Central history, the yearbook was published in full color. ''The yearbook has personality because it is in color; people like color because it makes them happy," said junior Andrea Hutchinson, one of the many underclassffien that made up the yearbook staff. The fact that there were only two seniors on staff did not lessen the quality. "It was a really fun year being the only "American" senior. Having all these underclassmen make my senior yearbook is weird, but they have done a great job with it. I'll miss this staff;' said photgraphy editor senior Zane Brugenhemke. Co-editor Josh McNeely agreed, ''They listen to me sometimes when I give them orders, that's fun. And I can depend on them:' Last fall, the scoreboards for baseball, softball and soccer had to be updated before the books could be distributed. That is when a ll o f t h e friendsh ip and c omraderie pays off. The staff came together to make the necessary repairs with stickers produced by the publisher. "We call them sticker parties; we try to make it fun like an assembly line. The stickers were awesome," said junior Jema Petersen who helped place over 3000 stickers in the 2007 books. With skill, imagination and dedication, the yearbook staff tried to make sure that 20 years from now, students can relive their high sch ool memories with just a flip of a page.

It's just a place for everybody to connect, and everyone knows each other. It's a really good mix of people." Working in room 401 was often hectic with writers trying to meet deadlines and fearing the wrath of editor in chief Amanda Goeser, ''This year I started making "hit lists" for staff members that didn't make deadline. Then I would bring cupcakes every so often so thatthe reporters didn't remember me as the editor with the hit lists." These reporters strive '1o make sure that the paper is interesting and that there's stuff in it that kids like;' explained reporter Shelby Klepfer, "A lot of kids don't pick up a normal paper, but a school paper relates to them." This 'work' included not only writing, but also creating the layout for each page. The staff spent countless hours after school working on layout to make each page as perfect as possible. "It's like an extracurricular activity;' said junior Maria Jones. "It's fun." The photographers expressed their talent through pictures of their classmates. "My favorite part of newspaper is taking pictures because I can express myself without having to write.

What was so special about senior year that made me wish I was there? What makes it so amazing? The truth is freshman year was the amazing year. Once I got over all the excitement and all the butterflies in my stomach finally departed, freshman year is where the fun was at.

My Grandma Thomas was the kindest and wisest woman I knew. She affected my life in ways I'm just beginning to understand. We sometimes lose sight of what's truly important. While we may forget to be grateful for these things, that doesn't mean they're not still important to us. And sometimes, all it takes is a fond memory to make you remember how truly thankful you are.

Photo by: Mackenzie Means PLEASE DON'T STOP THE MUSIC Coincidentally, the music was actually stopped. The escorts had minimal time to prepare for the dance, and most forgot all the steps. "The dance was really cute, I liked it, but when someone like me who can't count and has two left feet tries to do it, it doesn't work," said senior Adriene Hitchcock.

"I picked "Numa Numa" because I thought it would be fun and entertain the crowd. Photo by: Mackenzie Means BE HR.LC There are many different talents a person can have that make them stand out from the crowd. Some of the senior boys found that their talents existed along the lines of singing, dancing, or playing instruments. They chose talents that they were sure would win them the first 15'lace position and the title of "Mr. LC." Talents varied from new and old with some creating talents they never knew they had and others who chose talents that they have had for years. "I've played guitar for over five years now and taught myself how to play," said senior Blake Whatcott. Whatcott played the electric guitar for his act because it was one of his favorite talents. The prizes for the competition were nothing of extravagance. They varied from little pink wands to rubber chickens, princess crowns, umbrellas sashes and flower pots. "I thought it was pretty cool; I got bubbles and a frisbee for getting second place," joked senior Curtis Dreager. The five candidates for the Mr. LC competition chose their act. Some of them practiced hard, working to improvetheirperformanceeverychance theygot.Others just threw it together in a matter of minutes. "I practiced once right before I had to go and that was in the car on the ride there with Matt," claimed senior Cody Kempf. "Ben, Stephen, and I practiced hard. We went into the choir room and practiced quite a bit and used the down time during class," said senior Curtis Dreager. The "Blues Brothers" pulled through in the end giving the leader of the group, Zane Brugenhemke the title of Mr.LC. "We were really close to not being able to do it, but with the last minute addition of Daniel Rieck on bass, we were able to pull it off," said Brugenhemke. "It felt really weird singing in front of that many people since I'm not in choir and that was only the second time I have ever sang in front of a crowd. I want to make sure Adam Evans gets a lot of credit because he kind of stole the show for me."

It prevents me from making decisions people would think, 'well they're on NHS, why are they doing that?':· - Kristin Parent Vice President Treasurer Leadership. It's a powerful term, with unlimited possibilities. Those special individuals who hold the "gift'' of leadership come few and far between. Lewis Central recognized the leaders found within its own walls and gave them the opportunity to embrace that trait and grow into reputable young adults. That is, if they were willing to stand up and work for it. Two organizations that honed leadership skills included National Honor Society and Student Council. "StuCo" and NHS" as they were commonly referred to were esteemed in different ways. One was based on grades and community service and the members were chosen by a select committee of teachers. The other had members elected by their peers- their fellow classmates. The first step to qualify, was to make the effort and get your name on the ballot. Not everyone was chosen, so it was an elite few who made either association. Both groups held activities throughout the year that took planning and organization. That's when the leaders stepped up and showed their true colors. NHS supported events like the blood drive, canned food and toy drives, took times at swim meets, baby-sat during TA meetings and Student/Teacher Conferences, and helped run Relay For Life. Each month members of NHS volunteered five hours of their time to make the community a better place. Stu Co organized and put together each of the three formal dances. New this year was March Madness, an informal dance. They also planned lunches between students and Mr. Story, coordinated the beloved Dodge Ball Tournament, helped buy books for needy children via Operation Bedtime Story, and were responsible for the crowning of Mr. LC. "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing," said Edmund Burke, a prominent 18th century author. Student Council and National Honor Society distinguished and developed members of humanity, whose characters were a direct reflection of what Lewis Central stands for.

BE a When the last month of the school year came around, high school changed. It suddenly became clear to students that these would be their last moments.

The athletes, with their love of the game, brought Titan heart. Performances of all kinds became Lewis Central's voice that showed what students thought.

The Luminaries were bags filled with sand for a firm foundation, and a candle to light the way. Alone a luminary could not light a path, buttogetherthe hundreds of luminaries light the way for the walkers. The senior leadership these two National Honor Society members brought to the relay in June was brought back to the school that August. Take a closer look into LC and you will see upperclassmen helping the underclassmen find what lights their passion, so one day they too will be able to lead the school. (2) Photo By: Diana Mescher Take A (Closer Look) School. .. that six letter word that is equivalent to someone scratching a chalkboard when heard during the summer; considered a word of terror for some and could be equivalent to yelling fire in a crowded movie theater. But then August 16th rolls around and students purchase all the new state-ofthe-art school supplies; the 200 pack of pens, the new 15 subject notebooks all crammed into the new humongous backpack that could go on a camping trip, but will hopefully last at least until the end of the first trimester. Somehow, students get to school and realize that they actually did miss this place during those three months of heaven called summer break. Students manage to keep track of their schedule that they received in the mail and most people make it to their first class without any major injuries from all of those friends they didn't see much this summer violently hugging and screaming how much they missed each other, and "let's hang out." Luckily, all of these hugging festivities take place around noon as opposed to the freshman who had to wake up at five o'clock and come to school at a normal time and get the pleasure of going through their classes TWICE! During that first day, students are verbally assaulted constantly with the student handbook rules and regulations until their ears start to bleed. But after that first week of getting comfortable waking up at 6 A.M. and taking those awesome pre-tests, everyone starts enjoying the new routine. The plans get made for that football game coming up on Friday with old friends and possibly some new ones. All-in-all people seem to start out depressed and worried about school but then they realize that they do miss this place and can't seem to wait to see what the next day brings (even though they secretly look forward to the weekends). But, looking at the grand scheme of things, what a better place to hang out with friends than at school where you see your very best friends (and even learn something new) every single day. If you take a closer look into the lunch room you would see that the Lunch Ladies love to give students the food they need t o help keep up their energy t o get through the day.

Photo By: John Petri Take A (Closer Look) Many times as students people are quick to judge a book by its cover; but if you take a closer look you'll see that at LC there is a lot more to the Titans than meets the eye. The seniors are amazing people; hardworking, dedicated role models for the upcoming classes. The seniors are knowledgeable on how high school works. Unlike your typical upperclassmen they're friendly, and very helpful. Many students of the graduating class have already started their careers, taken college courses, and some graduated early. Taking notes off the seniors, the juniors are another skilled group of people. With only three years under their belt, they have just started to get a grip. College visits and a few college courses, applications for scholarships and preparing for the ACT keep them busy. Some also manage to graduate early. The sophomore class has just gotten their feet wet. By this time they've realized that there is more to high school than freedom and fun . Many people in their class have begun to take the ACT, some apply for scholarships, and form solid goals for the future. Freshmen! It's the very beginning of their high school years, and boy what a transition it has been. The people in this class, like all the other classes, vary. Many students are on the ball and some still trying to find their way, and with the help they'll be sure to get there. As people they are different, but as Titans they all bleed blue. In the end they stick together and whether you're "top dog" or just a "f[eshy" Titans have each other's back. If you take a closer a look, you'll see the passion, hunger, and skill they all posses that makes them stronger, wiser, and nevertheless a Titan. ~ New principal ,he par ing lot "We've had 2.160 days of schoor together up to graduation. but we've tnade a tnillion rnernories ...

Woltma n Jordan Yates Courh1ey Zucca Jessica Zwicky (31) • I ' I . oser In the four years before graduation, Lewis Central students have good days and bad days, but new experiences and people create outstanding memories. There are certain moments that can never be forgotten . Homecomings will come and go, but who could ever forget the entire school dancing to The Cha Cha Slide at Coronation, or going outside on nice spring days during lunch to play hackey sack with friends? Looking back at high school reunions, Titan Rumble will still be stuck in heads, and Titans will still be yelling their Battle Cry. Even outside of school, students create memories. They will tell their children exactly how many hours a day they spent on facebook, while uttering the dreaded phrase, "When I was your age ... " Memories of stage fright at Mr. LC and the best location for lunch on early out Wednesdays are firmly embedded in the brain. In and out of school student life is not just sitting in a class, counting the ceiling tiles, while waiting for a bell to ring. Student life is leaving a legacy for those who come after you. It's spending time with old friends, while making new ones. It's the inside jokes and crazy times, the drama and tripping down the stairs, first days and finals. But most of all, student life is something each Titan will remember forever. @fl (/@ Of LC Kids F articipate in Activities Exit sigt1s in l l Ju11ior Kyle Herren is looking over brochure facts.

Photo By: John Petri Remember when little kids used to tie foam cups together and pretend to talk to each other through them? A lot has changed since then, because of technology. Today, instead of tying cups together, house phones and cell phones are used to talk with each other. Cell phones could only be used to talk to someone else orally, but now they can be used to send text messages and picture messages too. Text messages are now so popular that the number of text messages sent and received each day exceeds the population of the planet. When a survey was given at the school three outoffour students said that they would rather text someone than call them. Not only do people use phones to talk to each other; they use technology called the internet. Two of the more popular sites used to talk with each other are Facebook and MySpace. Teenagers use these because there are over 100 million registered users of MySpace, and it is possible to talk to anyone who has a MySpace, even someone who lives on the other side of the world. One of the other commonly used internet sites is Facebook. This is a more generic site compared to MySpace. In our school there is a trend where MySpace is mostly used by freshmen and sophomores , whereas juniors and seniors like Facebook better. Both of these sites can be personalized, complete with pictures and information about the person. On the page are all of the person's friends and the comments they leave them. On Facebook these comments are put on what is called a wall. Facebook also has groups which can be made up and joined. If the world went from foam cups and string to cell phones and the internet, we can't help but wonder what will be used to communicate in 20 years.

(71) "I will always bleed blue and remember the Titans," says Steve Padilla. These words are said by many people but one man can actually put meaning behind the words. However, one person who can is Steve Padilla. "Just to see Steve impact young lives for the good was one of the best experiences I have had with him .. . Coach Padilla always had a 'knack' for working with all types of students," said Pat Campbell. Mr. Padilla has been at here for 34 years. Padilla put in 28 years coaching, including 23 years as the head football coach. After 124 victories, he retired from coaching in 2000 to become the Activities Director for the last six years. Joe Ankenbauer said, "He has been a valuable asset to the school all the time he has been here, and it's sad to see him leave." During his coaching years his teams made it to the playoffs in 1986, 1991, 1996, and 1997. A reason he was so successful in his career as a coach was because all of his colleagues and athletes respected him. "He could relate to the trials and tribulation of coaching. He was a head coach who trusted his assistants with responsibility and as long as we got positive results he stood clear. He taught me there are different ways to get the job done and done well and that my way is not always the best way," said Mr. Campbell. Steve Padilla earned many awards throughout the years. In 2002, Mr. Padilla earned the 01 m ic Torch. He was also inducted in the Iowa Football Coaches Hall of Fame. These awards are not given to just ordinary people Padilla really knew how to impact the lives of kids and how to coach them "I was never in 1t or th awards, I was in it for the kids and to help them be the b st th could be ... one of my proudest coaching moments was back when we traveled to Harlan for a game and beat th m r to zero at their Homecoming game," said Padilla. Even when he wasn't coaching, he still made a d fference in the daily lives of many students. Junior Al Thramer said, 'He has always been a great role model for me and 1t has be n a privilege to know him. We are losing one of the best Act1v1t s Directors this school has ever had." His personal secretary and long time friend, Cindy Brock man commented, "He is a joy to work with, he makes work fun Although, I will miss him, I wish him well, now he will get to I his Harley and play golf." There is not one person who won't miss Steve Padilla Chr Hanafan said, "It's going to be a great loss to our cho I d tri he has put in a lot of hard work over the years he h s be h and he has helped to build a strong foundation. Although Padilla retired he plans to v1 t L wl frequently and come to almost all of the g mes T great, the community is great an th1 h b to work ... it has been a perfect f1 r th Mr. Padilla.

I'm going to miss the relationships that I've built over the years with staff members and parents." -Rose Jones Associate Principal Wilf/a7116'~2i~f i ilt)E!~ Teacher, coach, and friend. Dan Steger says goodbye to his final year at Lewis Central. "I have been working with young people my whole life and it helps you stay feeling young, not being around them will be a very big change," says Steger. Mr. Steger started his teaching career thirty four years ago. He was an accounting major who not only taught accounting but also brought Advance Accounting to Lewis Central. In addition, to those two classes Steger also taught Consumer Survival Skills, a required course, and Business Law. "Steger's a great guy, he's fluent in his teaching, and is always there for you when you need help," said junior Eddie Nooner. Not only was he a teacher, Mr. Steger was also a coach. He was with the wrestling team for numerous years. Another sport that was important to him was girls tennis, and he was the coach for twenty two years. During his time Steger led the tennis team to three Hawkeye Ten championships. "I love to see students excited about what they have accomplished. A lot of times you don't see that in the classroom, that is why I loved coaching. All of the Hawkeye Ten championships that we won will be memories that will stay with me forever," says Steger. A good work ethic and the will to get things done in both his teaching and coaching are two good things that he believed that he brought with him when he came to Lewis Central. Along with that he formed many relationships while teaching. A friend for teachers and someone to come to for help when students needed him. ''One thing I loved was playing Mr. Steger in Fantasy Baseball. I liked him better when he didn't have a good team, but most of the time he had a good team:· says teacher Joe Ankenbaur. At the end of the year Mr. Steger leaves this school with the knowledge that he has taught and the coaching that he has contributed. He leaves friends and students, but he takes with him memories that will never be forgotten. "My favorite thing about Mrs. Sievers is that she picks up on how we feel. One day, she let us spend an hour writing about the stress in our lives. She really cares about us as individuals." -junior Kristen Schweer "I really like her because she helped me escape my straight tone singing." -junior Rachel Schultz "I really like Mr. Nelson because he has conversations with the students, and it sometimes seems like he is one of us. Mr. Nelson always has a good attitude and a great sense of humor!" -sophomore Erica Shockey "Mr. Nelson is a pretty cool guy. He's someone you can really relate to." -freshman Ryan Goeser "My favorite thing about Lewis Central was probably homecoming week because I liked how both the students and the teachers got involved. I'm really going to miss the teachers. They were really helpful for my first year. I will also miss seeing the students all the time." -Rachel Hack Science Department (74) Taking a close1- look at LC y ou will find many students, like senior Justin Carlson, that are very invo lved in the sports programs.

Whether you are a fan , parent, coach, or athlete, everyone bands together at Lewis Central and bleeds blue. Sport's seasons have been great in the past, but this time around we have dominated in all of them. With their outstanding record, this year's football season has been an unforgettable one. Girls' volleyball made it far in districts. Girls' basketball's only full squad loss came to the State Champions. Many track meet records have been met and broken by both the girls and boys teams. State tournaments got to see the Titans play their best in girls swimming, wrestling, cross country, and track. One Titan athlete who shined above the rest is senior Jimmy Waters. Waters dominated on three fields, football , wrestling , and baseball. Although Waters is an All-State football player, and a three time state wrestling champion he has chosen to go on and play baseball at Kansas, a Division One University. "Jimmy is an amazing athlete. He has God given talent, yet he still works his tail off to be the best he can ," said Coach Hanafan. All sorts of fans followed the athletes to each event no matter how far they had to travel. Throughout the football season, senior mom's formed a pep bus that went to all of the away games. Buying tattoos, balloons, and pompoms from the student council was the beginning of a new tradition. These sports have come to an end, but if one takes a closer look you will see some amazing moments for these Titan athletes . ......... t This! ~ ~~1 Act ivit,y Ticket,s Sold Coaches .... ~fj F ages in t,he Handbook Hon1e Gan1es Foot-ball Garnes Us Them Us TI1em Red Oak 4 3 0 11 Red Oak 7 2 Manning 12 0 Woodbine 12 3 St.Albert 13 2 11 St.Albert 4 2 Denison 12 0 9 6 Carroll Kuemper 0 2 1 15 Atlantic 1 5 1 6 Harlan 1 6 0 1 Glenwood 3 7 4 8 Missouri Valley 0 5 Shenandoah 6 2 8 Shenandoah 11 1 Stanton 3 1 Thomas Jefferson 9 0 3 West Harrison 5 2 Riverside 11 Sioux City North 1 12 Clarinda 5 6 2 Central Dewitt 1 4 Van Meter 2 6 Panorama 6 0 Creston 4 7 4 3 Carroll 3 0 Cherokee 3 7 Lema rs 7 6 South Page 12 1 Abraham Lincoln 1 0 Looking back over her I season, senior April Cooper had much to be proud of.

"I was so scared after hearing that because Kristin refused to sleep. We finally gave up around 4 a.m." Besides the late night scary stories, there were late nights spent on the field. The softball earn defeated Abraham Lir:icoln in a 15-inning game that lasted until almost midnight. With one hit, they had scored another victory.

The Titan softball team had many outstanding players this year who made honor teams including All-Conference, All-City, and All Southwest Iowa. The players selected included senior April Cooper, junior Rachel Boardman , junior Lindsey Toole, freshman Kristin Waters, and 8th grader Brittnie Kreiser. Coming to an end, the girls tied the school's record with 59 Team Doubles. Their final record for the season was 24-18. The team had (toYW9i2~e) It's game time. Batting and fielding nament. In a close game against practice are over. The team jogs off the field to the dugout. Every player can feel sweat condensing under their hats. The nervousness of every player intensifies by the second. Then the team gathers around for a pre-game joke. "Before games, the guys told the team joke of the day. It was usually inappropriate, but it kept us loose and lightened the mood," said junior Jimmy Waters. Some of the weight was lifted and everyone relaxed. Besides the pregame humor, the team used other tactics to help keep the stress out of the game. One method was as easy as paying attention to officials. "We had a goofy umpire at one game. It took him 5 seconds to call a strike after a pitch. By then, you'd look at him like what the heck?" said junior Ryan Whittington. Even though they had fun, the team still got down to business and focused on the game. With a team record of 29-10, they finished second in the Hawkeye Ten Conference. Returning from a state trip in 2005, the Titans were just a game away from going back to the tourWest Des Moines Valley, the state champs, the team gave an impressive performance. They were ahead more than once during the game, but Valley came out on top. "Hanging with West Des Moines Valley in the last semi-state game was the defining moment of the season. As a whole team, we started off not knowing who our captains were and played just as players. Halfway through, the captains stepped up. We started to play together as a team," said junior Mitch Kohl. With a successful season under their belts, the players still remember the poker parties, team jokes, and weekend trips for tournaments. "In Marshalltown, the whole team had a Super Nintendo tournament. It was an old basketball game and someone made a three pointer at the buzzer to win. It was intense," said junior Nate Kleckner. While varsity will miss the eight seniors they lost, Tyler Drvol , Will Exley, Chad Gubbels, Travis Hitchcock, Brandon Jacoba, Luke Stamp and Mike Stamp, they still have seven players coming back for more in 2007. SAFE! With a head first slide, another run is brought in for the Titans. The team scored a whopping 322 points against opposing teams this season.

Friends meet in the hallway and make plans for the big game verses Denison. It's the team's first home game and people don't expect as much as they remember the beating Denison gave LC last year, but the fans go to the game anyway. As the fans arrive, they sense something is different tonight, but they can't put their finger on it. The stands fill up as the team warms up. Once again, the fans sense something different but still can't figure it out. The team goes away, the band performs and lines up fo r the tunnel. The excitement builds and that feeling comes back again. The team takes the field in dramatic fashion and that feeling is back more than ever and everyone is d ing to figure it out. The game finally starts and we pop-out an early 14-0 lead and that's when it hits. This team wants it more than the other team, playing with more heart than the fans have ever seen an LC team play with and they witness the kill of the Monarchs by 41 -0. That is how most of the season went for the Titans, they played with more heart. This year LC had a 7-2 record just barely missing a playoff birth. "That hurt pretty bad after the Carroll game, after trying so hard all season and to come up just short," said junior Logan Mundt. The guys did have a lot of great moments too. "Beating Glenwood and Saint Albert was awesome, you never want to lose to those guys." said sophomore Dan Hayes. "My favorite had to of been the Denison game, after they beat us last year, beating the crap out of them 41-0 was a great feeling," said senior Cody Housley. Even with a bittersweet season the boys were happy with a 7-2 record.

This season the crowd supported the varsity volleyball team by wearing personalized player shirts. Visible from afar, these hot pink shirts brightened up the stands They were worn by fans of all sizes, from friends to parents and boyfriends to teachers. Even big bad football players squeezed into the girlie shirts to show their Titan pride. It was a creative and fun way to show off school spirit and support the team. Photo By: Amber Barr "We are the Titans! The mighty, mighty Titans!" As the halls explode with the cheers of the volleyball team, the anticipation in the crowd grows. Excitement erupts when the girls finally take the floor. With four returning starters, the Titans were a force to be afraid of. The gir s got off to a great start by winning their first four games. The team's success continued, and the Titan's ended the Hawkeye 10 season 7-2. Much of their success was a result of their team unity. "Everyone really gets along this year, and it shows on the court," junior Allie Frost explained. Senior Bonnie South agreed, 'This season was definitely the most fun. All of us are just weird. We're loud and obnoxious, and we always know how to have a good time." Some of their fun came with their pre-game rituals, which included team dinners and present exchanges. The most exciting event was the annual T.P.ing of Coach South's house. "The varsity girls have T.P.ed my house for the last five year$ It was fun getting to T.P. my own house, and the best part was that I didn't have to clean up any of it," laughed Bonnie. When it got down to business, the Titans were ready to bring their A-game. After an outstanding season, the Titans ended strong with a 3-0 victory against Des Moines Roosevelt in districts and losing a close game against Ankeny. Junior Rachelle Osborn said, "We had great seniors this year. They brought great leadership, and we are definitely going to miss them." "This year really made me realize how much I love my teammates. In every sport, we grow so close, and I always took it for granted," explained senior Karrie Hansen. The girls will always remember the great times they had on and off the court.

Photo By: John Petri Look (at the Season) The 2006 season for Lewis Central cross count ry was chalk full of succe ss and disapp oint - ment for the Titan s. The new year seemed promising at the start of the se a s on w h en t he varsity girls placed three runners in the top 20 and the boys placed four runners in the top 20 at the Abraham Lincoln Invitational. Dan Hall ended up winn ing the race, b reaking a slump in which no LC male c ross count ry runner had won a ra ce since Hall 's ne xt door neighbor, Alan Feeney, did it in 1986. As t he se a son we nt on the team met a slew of injur ies t hat th ey we re b oggled down wi th and just couldn 't seem to shake. Senior run n e rs B r ad Boga rdus, Cory Jasek, Hila ry Sadler, and Dan Hall all had roller coaster seaso ns. The g irls team tended to stay pretty steady for the ma jority of the season. Hi lary Sad l er led t he way with Jennifer Ha ll, S h e lby Eli s ion, and Ariel le Huber rema ining at the top of the girls squad. (84) Sadler and Hall managed to take 1 4th and 15th place at the Ha wkeye 10 Conference Meet. Sadler couldn't manage to qualify for the state meet this ye ar because of injuries, but will look forward to returning her senior year. With the seniors boys ·hot being able to contr ibute on a consistent basis underclassman Nate Black and Taylor May stepped up and play ed a large roll on this year 's team and will continue to do so in the coming seasons. Both of them were able to finish with Hall in the top twenty at the Hawkeye 1 O Confer ence Meet. By the end of the year ev eryone was still not able to remain healthy and the boys failed to qualify for sta t e. Bogardus and Hall met the bitter end of their careers at their home cour se. Keeping in mind that the boys h ad not performed their be st this year, they will continue to work hard to make a run a state in tra ck. 2006 had its highs and i ts l ows, b ut li ke eve ry season the t e am had a good time doing it.

OK, so maybe it's not so fine, maybe it's freezing cold because the water heater is seemingly never on. But that doesn't slow them down in meets. The LC swim teams, both boys and girls, did excellent this year. "The hardest part about swimming was that I knew it was my last year at LC", senior Chris Williams proclaims. It probably isn't much easier for girls swim team seniors, all of whom were equally sad to be swimming for the last year at LC. However, not all is sad and bad. Williams is on his way to the University of South Dakota on a bid to be on their swim team. It takes a lot of dedication to be on the swim team, however; as it's one of LC's hardest sports. Coach Bruce Schomburg really pushes the swimmers, having them do lap after lap of the pool to build up stamina and endurance. Even the shorter races require a lot of dexterity, as pulling your body as fast as you can against the water can be a physically trying matter. In the end though , for them it's worth it.

This was the first time in five years that they have placed third in all of their dances. During the dance team season, a lot goes on. Besides all the football performances, State Competition, and basketball/ wrestling performances, six girls are chosen to audition for the All-Iowa Honors dance team. Tryouts were held in September where the girls travelled to Ames, Iowa. This year they had all six available spots filled. Seniors Amber Barr, Jessica Dappen, Molly Hansen, Megan Heckerman, Cassie Paulson, and Anna Schutte all took the four-hour trip to audition for the team. "The ride seemed to take forever, but I listened to my lpod and slept to pass the time," said senior Megan Heckerman. Theirdayhadjust begun, when they were immediately put into columns by the numbers given to them. It was very important that every girl was in the right place because they would be auditioning in that order later that afternoon. After all 520 girls were lined up properly, they were divided into two groups, one kick and one porn . Once they had learned the first dance it was time to switch and learn a completely new dance. "It's difficult to change from one to the other so quickly but in order to learn and perfect both you have to learn fast-paced," said senior Anna Schutte. The day seemed to fly by and it was time to audition. "This is the longest part," said senior Cassie Paulson, "you are so worried that you wi II forget the dances, so you keep running them over and over." With 520 girls trying out for only 275 spots, everyone stayed focused and tried their best. They did not find out that day they were on the team. Three months later Coach Deb Stephenson received a letter saying that all six girls made it and would perform kick at the halftime of the girls state basketball finals. This was exciting since last year they danced live with country singer Sawyer Brown! The girls looked forward to seeing what the year entailed; two more members, sen.iors Christine Webering and Sara Triplett, joined in the half-time show on March 10, 2007 attheWells Fargo Arena in Des Moines, Iowa.

They started out the year with eight girls of the varsity squad and ended the year with fourteen girls. Despite the ever changing numbers these girls managed to play as a team. The girls are tied for the best win/loss record in LC history with a record of 22-2. They also hold the best defensive average of 33.8, which means they held all of their opponents to an average of 33.8 points or less per game. Both of these team records helped the Titans win the Hawkeye 10 Conference. Along with all of the broken records and team awards if you take a closer look into this squad, you' 11 see they had some fun team-bonding moments. "One of my favorite moments this season was when we had our team sleepover and we tee-peed the coaches' houses," said senior Taylor Hastings. Every season the varsity squad gets together at a seniors house. This year, they hung out, ate some pizza, and chilled for a few hours. They even watched seniors Gracie Thornton and Diana Mescher try to wrestle. Around eleven o'clock the girls all changed into black clothes, piled into two cars, and drove off to Wal-Mart. In the store, looking very suspicious, the girls made their way to the toilet paper aisle. They looked at all the different brands and sizes of toilet paper and tried to figure out which kind will work the best. Once they found the toilet paper they moved on to the shaving cream aisle. With all of their supplies in hand they headed off to Coach Frascht's house. "I love to tee-pee Frasch! because he is such a neat-freak and he is so big on recycling," said senior Jill Flores. Next the girls moved on to Coach Nauman and Coach Paulson 's houses.These to guys were volunteer coaches for the girls. They put in just as much time as Coach Hanafan, and get paid nothing for all of their hard work. "Nauman and Paulson are the best! They are full of information and they are just so much fun to have a practice," said senior Diana Mescher. After the girls properly covered all of the other coaches, the made their last stop at Coach Hanafan's house. They always hit Hanafan's house the hardest. "We used twice as much toilet paper and twice as much shredded paper on Hanafan's. It was great," said senior Gracie Thornton. The girls loved to do this annual activity as a team bonding event. The coaches hated cleaning up the mess, but they knew that it was all done because the girls really like them , and love to bond with each other. This season was a huge success for the girls. They were city champs, Hawkeye 10 champs, and they were one game away from the state tournament, losing to the state champions. All in all it was a great season. - - -..- ~-..... _,,.. "This group of seniors were able to _joke around an have a great t in1e. yet they knew when it was time to get to work. and they wer e hard workers. It's been gr-eat watching you grow and turn in to great leadei-s." - Coach frascht Take it (To the Hoop) LC Basketball things took a different shape when it seemed as if juniors reigned supreme. Starting juniors Keenan Lindsey and the Perez brothers all had tremendous contributions this season. "Having those juniors step into these major scoring roles helped out a lot," said head coach Dan Miller. "But those seniors being team players and letting some juniors take some roles helped a lot too. We couldn't have done it without those seniors." The Titans did reach some high goals this season, with 15 wins, having a regular season record of 16-5 and beating in city rivals St. Albert and T.J. , giving them part of the mythical city championship. "Winning that city championship is great, that's something you always want to accomplish during your season and sometimes makes the season a success in a way," said junior Keenan Lindsey. This season was definitely a success for the Titans, but atthe seasons end everyone admits that losing nine seniors and the famed basketball manager Jaclyn Erickson will hurt. "All of the seniors were great competitors whether in practice or games. They were always there with a lot of effort," said Coach Miller. With an overall record of 17- 6 the Titan basketball program continues to take big strides in achieving that ever so elusive, but almost in reach goal of punching their tickets to the Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines for that state championship, and with all this returning talent, that dream continues to look more like a reality.

"I'm sad I can't go anymore, but it will be nice running the last time in high school before I have to start racing the fastest in the country," said Besco. To get ready for state he worked hard at practice and then even more on his own. Higgins, qualifying for discus, slowed down to fix the problems in his technique. "I did what I had to do to get it done." While Higgins scratched on diskus, Besco finished 9th in both the 100 and 400. Whether you were the senior or the sophomore, they both made the school proud.

With a team fu 11 of seniors we got along great and had a good time. '' -Jaclyn Erickson Girt~ An appropriate response when asked about the Lewis Central tennis teams this year, could be summed up with the word "different." The boys and girls teams set their goals differently, went into meets differently, and came out of meets with very different results. Only three of the nine players out for the boys team were returning players from last season. This included top seeded Anthony Garlough , number two seed Alex Noecker, and third seeded Michael Lively. Inexperience was the downfall, but this didn't bother the team. The team accepted their losses and made the best out of their situation and were proud of their accomplishments. On the girls' side, all six varsity spots were filled by talented returning seniors including top seeded Jaclyn Erickson, I I Glenwood Atlantic Red Oak Harlan Kuemper Denison Shenandoah Clarinda 1st Round Regional vs. T J Districts State Atlantic Tourney Hawk 1 O Cont.

The season was only one loss from having a perfect season, which came from a Red Oak team. However, their reign as city champs remains for the fourth season in a row. This season maked a greatfouryears for seniors Jill Flores and Cortny Knoble. "My best moment of this year was when Meggie and I played a Harlan team in doubles and beat them in three sets," said Cortny. Jill described her last four years being a huge improvement in her game, "As a freshman , I could barely get the ball over the net. I'm a lot better now." When it comes down to it, the differences didn't matter to the teams; they both marched on different paths, and did the best with what came their way.

Followin~ ue with matches in the spring he gir~s team was 1-5 on the season. Though their record seems shallow, they improved off of every match making lower scores as the season progressed. Wfth encourag ng coaches, Coach Kennedy and Coach Miller, the girls stayed motivated throughout the entire season. "Even though the season wasn't record breaking, matches, and our team outings; I'd definitely do it again next year!" said junior Courtney Kmezich It goes to show that when you're having fun and keeping a positive attitude toward the sport, it's not all about winning. Pages By: Kiersten Haubrich and Eddie Nooner (109) Special (Olympics) When a person thinks of athletics, they think of football, volleyball , and basketball. All these sports require great determination, dedication, and the willingness to have fun. The Special Olympics is no exception. In a new location at Iowa School For the Deaf, the Special Olympics was just a short walk across the street for the Titan team. The day was comprised of many different events including shot • put, the 50 meter dash, and the .- softball th row. • All of the LC participants were competitive against others in • these events. • The contestants weren't the only ones atthe track, there were • many NHS students who helped make the day run smoothly. All in all it was a beautiful day to go compete. Above and Beyond At the Special Olympics track meet many volunteers were on hand, including plenty of NHS members, like junior Hannah Patrick. "It was a great experience for me to help out at the Special Olympics. It was a really fun day helping all of the kids, and I think it's a great idea for anyone looking to get involved." Patrick and other NHS students manned the softball throw all day. ''The day was so organized. There was such a positive buzz in the air," she said.

All of Josh's teammates I respected him, sophomore I Jon Higgins said, "Josh is a good leader. He always I knows what he is talking I about, and when someone asks for his help, he is always I willing to help them." Pages by: Felisha Moore (114) Photos by: Josh McNeely Look at (What they did) There are many things teams do to get ready for their game or upcoming season, some of the members of the Titan baseball team did something most wouldn't think of. Just before their first game of the season, a lot of the baseball guys did the unthinkable, They shaved their heads. The team members who participated in the head shaving include, sophomores Jon Higgins, Dan Hayes, Matt Sharp Sean Lalumendre, and junior Cody Kempf. It looked like their strategy for the season worked . The guys ended the first game with a win. Sophomore Sean Lalumbendre said, "We just shaved our heads because we felt like it. Even though I'm kind of bummed because I miss my hair; I still like the fact that we had a moment together as a team." Sean wasn't the only one who was bummed about his hair, sophomore Dan Hayes said, "I kind of wish we didn't shave our heads, but at the same team I'm glad because we had team unity when we did it." "We were trying to start a new trend for out baseball team and all the future Titan baseball teams," said sophomore Jon Higgins. Higgings started the idea of the head shaving. Sophomore Matt Sharp said, "We came to practice one day and Jon said we should all shave our heads so we did." Not all of the team members shaved theirs heads, but they were the barbers who helped shave the heads. Some of the other team members later plan to shave their heads about halfway through the season. Maybe this will keep up a winning streak. Team unity was not the only reason these guys did it, junior Cody Kempf said, "We did it so our heads would stay cool in the summer."

Photo by: John Petri (119) Singing and dancing are two things that take skill, but when students had to combine these things it took a lot of talent. Lewis Corporation was not only a show choir, it was a group filled with memories and experiences that will not be forgotten . Corp had two directors Shelby Sievers and Brian Johnson. Their performance included six songs: My Vision, Back in Business, Smooth Criminal, Cup of Life, Hot Stuff, and Only Love. Performers competed three times and did well at all of them, placing 3rd at Heelan. Mr. Johnson was new this year and replaced Mr. Huth. Taking on Corporation was a big responsibility but he fit in just right. "With Mr. Johnson things are really different, but even though he is new he is doing a great job," said senior Chris Williams. Preparing for shows took a lot of determination by all of the performers. They practiced all year long starting in the summer. First, at camp they choreographed all of the dances in the show. The next thing they learned was the songs, and finally they combined the two together. The work continues with Senior Meggie Misfeldt a one year veteran of Corp loved the overall experience of it. "I hated the dancing, but i loved the singing." Said Misfeldt. Although this was her first year in Corp it was her fourth year in choir. "Right before the curtains would open i always got butterflies in my stomach," says Misfeldt. Lucky for us she was never to nervous to keep from performing. In the song of Only Love Meggie Misfeldt had her very own solo in the song. So from rough practices to awesome performances they survived. 120~-~--- rehearsals a couple times a week during the school year perfecting the show that they took so much pride in. "During rehearsals we did a lot of cleaning which is where we do what we know and work to get everything on the right beat," said senior Courtney Dusing. All of the creativity and effort that the performers put into their shows was apparent when they went to competitions. Not only do they get to show off what they had done, while there the students in Corp got to watch other show choirs do the same. Going to competitions gave students an opportunity to meet new people and make friends that enjoyed doing the same things they do. "I love meeting new people at competitions ... I'm a people person," said sophomore Ben Rausch. With a successful year of performances completed the students in Corporation take a short break before all of the madness begins again. The performers in Corp leave with a year of memories and another winning tradition. RIGHT ON CUE In her final year of swing choir senior Courtney Dusing hits the position right on mark. She performs in the front so everybody can see her doing her thing. "It's nice to have a lot of different styles in the show." said senior Dusing.

Ask choir students and they would say it is just the beginning. But take a closer look into choir. Is there more to it than people think? When students walk into the choir room they can expect to learn something new everyday. Each class is like a practice and the students work hard to improve whether it is in class or at a lesson in their free time. "Constantly working and practicing makes the voices better, and voice lessons help a lot, too," said choir director Ms. Sievers. A new choir director, Brian Johnson, came to Lewis Central from LeMars High School this year. This new addition not only brought new changes to the choir program, but to Mr. Johnson as well. "New school, new students, new voice, new way of doing things ... pretty much everything is different," said Mr. Johnson. Choir is not all hard work however, During the 2006-2007 choir year, two important players in the Vocal Music Department team were diagnosed with cancer. Mrs. Velma Lippoldt, their loyal accompanist, and Mr. Bruce Norris, the resident vocal expert. Consequently Mrs. Lippoldt was unable to play for the choirs I after the fall concert. "She's a part of the LC choir family. We couldn't do it without her." said sophomore Summer Turner. And anyone who knows Mr. Norris know that nothing can keep him down. Norris is a favorite with the students. "We joke around a lot .. . and hit each other" explained junior Laura Fry.

Even though the classroom is very laid back, every student in choir loves to sing and knows when it is time to get down to business. "Choir is fun, and when I sing my heart is filled with joy," said freshman Tyler Butler. Choir students get to show off their hard work when the time comes to perform. The freshman , concert, and chamber choirs all perform at the main concerts and the Parade of Homes. Anywhere they perform their hard work shows. ''The best part is the adrenaline rush that you get when you know you have your songs all memorized, and it is cool to hear all of the voices of a big group sing together," said senior Meggie Misfeldt. Crescendo, fermata, whole note, or accelerando these are all terms that mean absolutely nothing to the average student. But now when watching these groups perform think about how hard they have worked.

With a group of 75, concert band had many honors. All-state band members this year. were Cayla Gillette, Kristin Parent, and Stephen Bond. They also preformed in Chicago at Elmhurst College for a special clinic. During that time they also saw the Broadway show Wicked, the Blue Man Group, and the Museum of Science and Industry. The Titan Jazz Orchestra also h d many accomplishments. They received a superior rating from the Bellevue East Jazz Festival and achieved 2nd at the Bluffs Jazz Festival. Outstanding solos at the competition were Nick Kempton and Nate Quick. Nate Quick says that he owes it to the new band director. "Mr. Walters has improved the band department so much. I have a lot more fun now that he's here." So whether they're dancing up a storm, marching to the beat, or pumping up the crowd, Titan Band has just begun to tap into the possibilities of the musical world. B : MaKenna DophJ_§eli£id!§et..__ _________ ll ______ _ "Dance, Dance!" The Titan Band did as the popular band Fall-Out Boy says, they danced. You may have noticed at football games, basketball games, and pep rallys, the band was boogying down to its own sweet music. This new spring in their step can be accredited to new band director, Mr. Walters. "Because we had such an involved band director it made band more fun, because he cared about us." Junior Haley Gregory stated. Now it takes talent to play beautiful music and shake your groove thang at the same time. "We're an extreme group. Dancing's okay because we're all crazy awesome" said senior Bonnie South. As you can imagine the Titan Band had some great times. So do as the band does. and get out there and dance! Photo Courtes of: Mr. Walters Mr. Walters Arsenic ( &9 (9/d ~ace) Every actor has the opportunity to do something out of the ordinary for everyone else. A part in every play is the chance to be something you're not. In this years play, Arsenic & Old Lace, the roles included two old ladies, a mad scientist, a Teddy Roosevelt imposter, a couple about to be married, and drunken cops. There were plenty of opportunities for the cast to play make bel ieve. "I came from A.L. this year for L.C.'s drama program. An old lady was a fun part to play because it is something you're not used to and there is a lot of room for improvisation," said junior Jessica Formanek. The old ladies, Jessica and senior Jennifer Ettinger, had age lines put on and talked in h igh, squeaky voices to make themselves appear older. Others in the play made bigger sacrifices to look their part in the show. "I had the whole beard thing going on at practice and Mclaughlin asked if I was going to shave ever. When I said yeah, he told me I should leave it and grow a goatee. It took four weeks," said senior Kyle Fletcher. The cast had fun acting as someone else onstage, but behind the curtain they still had fun being themselves. "It was fun acting drunk since I never am in reality. But offstage, there were four cops and we all just acted like idiots. I liked watching Ben Rausch and Seth Yakel slap each other," said senior Brett Epperson. Another Senior who stepped up at the last minute was seasoned actor David Ebke. "Even though we had to walk through hell, I've never had as much fun in a play unti l Arsenic and Old Lace. It wasn't that hard to do because a lot of people helped me out. It was really cool." YOU MUST BE SO LONELY ...

Anyway, they all have one thing in common. They are all master painters and artists, creating breathtaking works of art that capture our imagination to this day. Perhaps that spirit is captured everyday in room 209; Lewis Central's resident art room . Walking into this room, at first, leads to little surprise. All you will notice is the students shuffling their pencils over a piece of paper just like every classroom. However, pull in a little closer, and that's when the striking artwork some of these high school students produce will seem to jump from their homes on the paper and burn themselves in your mind. Breathtaking outdoor images, close ups of a classmates face, pencil blurred drawings of an animal, or even a strikingly vivid pure color washed basket of fruit. And it doesn't stop there. The adjacent pottery room yields equal results as you see the large, hyper-detailed sculptures that are in the making. Boxes, sculptures, teapots, and the latest favorite - personalized dog bowls. Sometimes the amount of detail work that goes into the tiniest little corner of a vase can take more time than studying for that physics test you've been fretting about. So, the next time you need a little inspiration, why not take a trip to the art/pottery rooms and take a closer look. • • • • • • • • . ,__-1=\Piiilll-- CLAY DUST BUNNIES Mr. Cunningham's desk isn't always the cleanest place around.

Kurstrm Devine (131) §>~b The winter sports alternative . Mysterious, - crazy, · loud, flamboyant, courageous- all characteristics of L.C. Speech performers Unbeknownst to most though speech might just be one of the most successful activities at L.C. The success rate was at an all time high for the speechers. Large group sent nine groups to state and Reader's Theater went to all-state for the 7th consecutive year. Individual speechers blew people away again sending an astonishing 15 people to state, including Jenn Ettinger who went to all-state for her fourth straight year making her the first Titan to ever achieve this goal. "It is truly an amazing accomplishment by Jenn," said speech Coach Laurie Nielsen. 'This is great that she is the first person to ever do this from L.C. and this just doesn't happen in the state of Iowa very often. You have to be really gifted to reach that level." Jenn herself was quite proud of her accomplishments, "After not making it to all-state in large group, I was a little down and didn't think I was going to make it for individual, but then I found out I did and it was a huge relief." Speech isn't all serious though, all you have to do is look around the speech room before you find the "troublemakers" (as Mrs. Nielsen would call them). "The best thing that we did this year been with my sling king, (giant slingshot). At state we were _:. launching an assortment of objec s across the gym and we got Kristen Schweer's scarf caught on the top of the basketball hoop," said Zane Brugenhemke. "We had to go and get the janitor to bring the hoop down to get it back, but it was worth it, added David Ebke. Mrs. Nielsen was not as impressed. "I was so angry that they brought that thing along, it embarrassed me so much being their coach, but knowing those guys it was really no surprise that something like that would of happened," said Mrs. Nielsen. "I was just happy I got it back because if those guys would have lost it I would have been quite mad, said Kristin." LC speech is in a close race with the wrestling team for. one of the most successful programs offered at LC And by the looks of things these super speechers aren't slowing down.

(140) I I NHS members are often involved in activities. Jennifer Hall runs track and cross-country. She qualified for state track in the 3000 meter run. "Jenny has an amazing work ethic, that girl inspires me plus she is funny. She always leads the distance girls in their workouts," said sophomore Andrea Hutchinson. ''She's dedicated, takes it seriou ly. and is a great leader for the rest of the kids m our school," said NHS Adv1~or John Drake. One hour at a time National Honor Society was established by the NASSP in 1921. The four main purposes of the chapters of NHS are "To create enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote leadership, and to develop character in the students of secondary schools." (From the NHS constitution) Those purposes mean a lot to NHS and its members; it is almost like a Bible. "I think its great kids want to go out and volunteer," said Jennifer Ettinger. NHS stands for National Honor Society, however to its members it means more than just an organization. NHS is somewhat an honor roll; their members show perfection in more than one thing. Leadership, scholarship, service, and character ' re all qualities of members of National Honor Society. "I think leadership is important because it makes us have all the traits an National Honor Society member should have," says senior Jessica Dappen. Members are accepted at the junior and senior levels. it is estimated that there are more than one million students who take part in the National Honor Society organization. Members often work many hours in volunteer work for the hospital, local day care service, and other community work. Senior Amanda Schieffer estimates she's spent over five-hundred hours in her NHS career in volunteer work. Dedication is an important part for its members. If it weren't for National Honor Society, the community wouldn't be what it is today, hard work and dedication is hard to find ... However its members are willing to take the job. I I I • ' ' . :.

Dear General I send you herewith a clipping from yesterday's post of the new policy to be followed in the construction of the Canal. This is the right policy and will no doubt bring to your mind the paper you submitted to the Presidentabout two years ago. General; There seems to be a lack of definite ideas and grasp of this work on the part of the men at the head. They are honest in their efforts and in their intentions but there is still a shifting disjointed kind of an organization and I cannot see any great bettering of affairs under present management. Wallace left practically no organization of the Engineering Department. This is a fact, and will no doubt surprise you. '^'Tr. Ghonts is a keen, splendid business man, but between us I honestly do not be'ieve that he is the superior of Admiral V/alker in any sense. The Admiral always had control of big affairs and has great natural breadth of mind. Mr. Shonts is smart, alert and energetic but is handicapped by a lack of initiative due, I believe to a fear that he will butt in to Government methods or some statute. He is new in public affairs and probably fears criticism, that an older hand like the Admiral would not mind. The longer a man lives the more it ^becomes apparent that big men are rare. Sincerely yours, Hugh J. Gallagher. U. S. A. 84131 () ' 1 I j January, 1908, northfield, Vt., January 2, 1908. General G. .'-t. Dodge, ' New York City, N. Dear General Dodge Your letter in regard to the publishing of the University History is received, and I should have answered it sooner, but have been waiting until I could get some matters attended to with the Board of Trustees. I am sending with this a letter that I sent to the Board of Trusteed in regard to the publishing of the History. I note what you say in regard to my drumming students and also the printing of the History. Of course it is a matter for the authorities of the University to decide in regard to the student work. I am not at all anxious to do this student work, but am alwasy ready to do what I am called upon to do. I feel that this work should be attended to. Because.we have got a good class this 'ear, it is no sign that it is going to continue. It is like any business, it has got to be looked after. Now in regard to the publishing of the History. I have given the matter a very careful study, and I find that I van get very little support from the cadets pervious to '66. I have got to work hard in order to get 300 to 400 subscribers from the recent men. You can easily see how it is. The sketches of the old cadets appeared in the first book, and they do not seem inclined to help out in the book giving the sketches of the younger men. The History, itself, will cost aver ^1500.00 and if I sell 300 books at ^^3.50 apiece, there isn't money enough to get the book out. The letter.I wrote to the Trustees will tell you exactly how I came out in publishing the first.book. As you know, I have practically put in six years work on the History. I have made a careful estimate of the time that I have put in diiring my four years at the University, and I find that $150 a year is a low estimate, making "*600 in all. Then I put in ail of one year after graduating, and I estimate this year to be work at least $800 to me. This brings the cost tp.lto $1400 for labor; then I lost $600.cash, so that the actual cost to me on the publishing of the first History was $2000.00. Then, since I published the first History, I have put in a good deal of time keeping the addresses revised, and the material corrected. The University has a very good mailing-list, and it was givem them entirely from my work before I came here. Since I came back to the University in 1902 I have put in a good deal of time continuing the work. There seems to be a feeling that this work was done on University hours. This is not true. All of the historical work has been carried on out side of my work at the University. I have put in my evenings, Saturdays, and Sundays and vacations on the work. If my wife was here, she would tell you that she had had many arguments with me for spending so much time on this book. She felt that I ought to put more time in recreation, and less on historical work. Ye have printed the University roster. This roster has been compiled and edited entirely on my own time with the exception of a little time on the last roster. I remember twice that I have put in all my Christmas vacations getting the copy ready for the printer. I certainly feel that the University has no legal or rightful claim to this work but I have willingly given it to the college with the understanding that they give proper acknowledgement tothe "Norwich University History 1819-1898." I have always been willing to give my services for the good of the University, and I have done this to ra y financial loss. I feel exactly as you do that this History should be printed, and the copy gotten into shape before anything happens to me. . I have .,j| figured it out and if the University or friends-of the institution " can raise fUOO toward a guarantee for the publication, I can go ahead with it feeling that there will be do direct loss to me except that time I put into it. The ^600 that I have, dsked the University to give is merely to pay for the time that I have already put into it. Facts have shown that the University History is the most valuable advertising means for the University. The college has spent hundred of dollars for advertising, but hhere have they ever got a cent for it? On" the other hand. Miss Perkins of Concord, N.H. gave the University ?3000 and directly through the History. I could quote you a number of instances where direct aid-has come to the college through the History. The University Trustees at a meeting held Tuesday appointed a Committee to consult with me in-regard to the sale of the first copy right, and the getting out of a second edition. I have had a little talk with one member of the Committee, and he tells me that he thinks that the University would not consider the publishing the book themselves but thinks somewhat favorable of the first proposition. I have presented this matter to you as accurately as it is possible at this time, and you can easily see how I stand. I am willing to go ahead, as I said before, with the publishing of the book, and get the copy to the printer by July 1908, provided I can see where I come out even. I would like very much to see you personally and talk this matter over. It would■greatly facilitate the work if the New York Alumni Association would also send out a letter, signed by you as a President of the Association, endorsing this proposition, and urging \ the young men to give the book their active support. I am getting fair returns now, but it is slow.work. I think that we can do quite a little at the New York dinner.this year in regard to the cuts of the men. The jrounger men are beginning to take hold of that. If we get out a History, it should be gotten out to compare with the Histories sent out from other colleges. The fact of it is we are giving our Alumni a bound book and illustrated for $3.50 while most of the institutions charge anywhere from $2 to *3. for just the roster with veyy little detail. What I meant in referring this matter to Mr. Adams was for him to see just where the History proposition stood, and I do feel that if this matter was presented to Mr. Adams, that he would be willing to give this proposition his active support, and he would readily see that the History is a perpetual advertisement to .the college, and there is very little good in compiling data and filing it away. I shall be very glad to help in any way that I can in furthering the passage of the bill before Congress. • I am very anxious indeed to have a photogravure of yourself that I can put in the front of this History, and I appreciate your willingness to supply it. " In order to really make this History a success, it will be necessary for me to go to New York, and see -some of the men personallv. Thanking you for. your favor in this matter, I remain. Very truly yours, W. A. Ellis, Librarian New York, January 4, 1908. Hon. T7alter T, Smit.., House of Representatives, Washington, D.C. My dear Sir:- Since writing you last we have been very industrious on the tree question. Colonel Patrick, of Wasningtor, who has taken a great interest in the matter, has a large amount of information and will see and talk witli y u, T enclose with this some doctacents that will "be of interest, especially the 1684 report of Richard Law Olmstead on trees moved in the Capitol groTinds, and letters of Mr. Frederick Law Olnstaed, Jr. particularly his last one giving an accoiint of his interview with Mr. McCall, which shows that his position is not taken on account of the tree but to get us out of the Botanic hardens ent'rely and save them for Congress. Also, please note especially letters of Mr. Hicks. Of all the people we have seen ^r heard from Mr. Hicks is the most practical and ablest, and it is probable we w'll make a contract with him for moving the trees as he has very little or no doubt that he can do it successfully. He has had more experience than anybody in the United States, snd has moved hundreds of trees v/la'ch are alive of which he ka s Record, T shall .a e him appear before tl.e committee. You will notic in t .0 letter of Mr. Olmstead referr'ng to his -interview with McCall that McCall has arranged for him to go "before the Committee week after next, which would bring the date between the 12th and 18th. T wish you would arrange it so can notify l!r. Hicks and have him tl.ere at the same t'me. t think v/e have settled tiie tree question beyond a doubt, and have So much data and information on the subject that the Committee will be convinced as to that question, i want to get the matter settled because we will want to move the trees by April. T will go over as aoon as T get notice of the date of the meeting, and vMll try to be ti.ere will be convinced as to that question, i want to get the matter settled because we will want to move the trees by April. T will go over as aoon as T get notice of the date of the meeting, and vMll try to be ti.ere a day or two ahead. From the papers T send you you w'll notice that the injunction has been dissolved, but we will do nothing until after we have appeared before the Congressional Committee. T think it would be well for you to have a talk with Mr. McCall. T wrote Secretary Root to see some other members of t.;e committee, also wrote my friend Senator "?7illiam Alden Smith to say a kind word for us to t e Michigan man on the Conanittee. You may know him yourself. Congressrca Gardner is on your ComnMttee, ant.. T think will do anything he can for us. T do not see wl.at they have to stand on now, unless it be the po'nt made by McCall that Congress does not want to give up the garden but that is a question easily handled, because we are perfectly willing to wait until tiie gardens are turned into a public park, and there is absolutely no use for the botanical part now; it is only held there on account of Mr. Smit;., as Mr. Bromwell or any of the officers connected with Public Buildings and Grounds will tell yo^ they having full charge now with the Agricultural Department of all the hot nouses and distribution of roots, floweis, etc. However tl.'s will all come to you. T also enclose ^ne of the Crittendei: resolut'ons, and oltlier data that will interest you when you go through it, T hope you had a good visit to the West and a pleasant Christmas amd New York. When 1 get over there T will talk with you about other matters. Truly, G. M. Dodge. New York, Jaunay 6, 1908. Hon. William H. Taft, Secretary of War, , Washington, D. C. My dear Mr. Secretary: I have not communicated with you in relation to the Grant Memorial since your return, knowing you are busy and probably would not have time to devote to it -"S it did not need immediate attent'ori. You will learn from General Bell and Colonel Brorawell the action that has been taken in the matter, which is now before the Library Gomraittee of Congress "on a resolut'.on offered by "McCall, Chairman of that Committee asking the postponement of a,ny work on the memorial unt'1 first" of May. We will probably have a hearing befor-e that Committee next week, at which T will be present. I think we will be able to successfully solve the question of 'the removal of the trees,- from the testimony of parties who have had great exper'ence in tree moving, and who have decided the three histor ical trees can be "successfully moved. T have riven this matter a good deal of at-tent'on and have gone 'nto it very tl,roughly, but the trees question l.as .simply been used to drive us out of "the Botanic Gardens. That is the intent"on of the McCall resolution, his idea being that they wanted to preserve that garden- for Congress, but, as you a're aware, its usefulness for t-he purposes it has heretofore" been used "for is gone. Tlie Agricultural Department and Department" of Public Buildings and Grounds have taken up th t work, and t think the only reason the Botanic Gardens are maintained ^s on account of Superintendent Smith. The injunction ti.at held us up in the court has been dissolved, and we now have only to" meet the question in Congress. During your absence T consulted very freely with Colonel Bromwell, also General Bell and the Assistant Secretary; also Secretary Root, who has taken a great interest in the matter, and, no doubt, talked with you about it. There is no question in my mind as to the proper location for the memorial, and if we are driven out of the Botanical Gardens X have no idea wBnere we could find grounds suitalle for such an historical memorial. Tn the house 'Valter T. Smith, who had charge of the appropriation at the last session, is in charge of the matter for us; he is a member of the Appropriation Committee. As soon as I reach V/ashington T will endeavor to see you. T hope your long, trip iias been beneficial to you, and that you are in good healt!;. Wishing you a Happy New Year, t am. us ; he is a member y/ashington T will Truly and cordially yours, GrenV lie M. Dodge. New York, January 7, 190' Hon. Theodore Roosevelt, , . • . ■ . President of the United States, , 77ash*ngton, D.C. . . ■ • My dear Mr. President: T have read your letter to the Secretary of the Navy fn relation to the comniand of the hosp'tal sh-ips, also Aorairal Brownson's letter .in which he decl'-nes to obey the order of his superior officer, and resigning' h"s pos^fon. If you will pardon me. T wish to. say T th'r.k you made a mistake "in accepting Admiral Br.ov/nson s resignation. In my op'nion, you should have insisted upon ;iis obeying the order, and in case of refusal he would have been court-martialed. One of the cardinal principles of dis cipline is to obey an order from the proper a.uthority. Tf one does not desire to remain in the service under the officer who issrues the order. then after obeying it is the time to res'gn.. i setting up of one' ndividual wishes against the rules, .regulations and order-/ of an organ ization is becom'ng altogether .too frequent, amd in case of the army and navy is becoming an absolute detrlme. t to the se; vice. The influence upon your officers of the service is demoralizing. They would naturally assume that if they did not like an order all they .have to do Is not to .obey it and resign. T have heard some criticisms because you did not publish Admiral Brownson's letter, but T think any person who has at hear the interest of the service would say that it would have- d been a great favor fo Admiral Brownson if hi s letter had never seen .the llgdt.

It is very possible that I ought to have taken the stand you suggest. I did not for two reasons. In the first place, because Brownson has in the past rendered very admirable service; and, in the next place, becavise he was already a retired officer and the public inclines to look at the action of a retired officer as on a different plane from one on the active list. It was an inadvertence that his letter was not made public at the time of my letter to the Secretary of the Navy, but it was published six hours later. With great regard, believe me, . h. Faithfully yours. Theodore Roosevelt. General Grenville M. Dodge, 1 Broadway, New York, M, Y. New York, January 8, 1908, M. D. Smith, Northfleld, Vermont. Dear Sir:- ^ Yours of January 4th received today.- t have also received a letter from Ellis enclosing his propositTon to the Trustees, I can see from all the letters T have received that there ^s a good deal of feel^'ng against Ellis in this matter. One th^.nr, however, you must cons-'der- that ■'s that Ellis' history has been of incalculable benefit to Norwich V'niversity. T knov,' thl s not from anything t-rld me but from my own personal use of it. I have no doubt there are mistakes in it; there is no college history without mistakes, especially when the data Jiad to be compiled after most of the people were dead, and that is the reason why T am anxious to get the history vp to date while people whose record will go to make it up are alive. I am not particular whether the book is published or not, but T do want to secure the data, and believe that the data whicl, has been accumulated by Elli s in these many years cannot be picked up by anyone else. If anyone thinks he can do the work let him try it. As to Ellis' proposition t think we should take into consideration the fact that we have I.ad the use of the orig'nal history without the expenditure of one cent by the University, while T have no doubt that th-^ book was issued at a financial loss to Ellis. If the University had money T do not suppose it would hesitate one moment to pay Ellis for his work and for hi s loss. I think his offer of $1,000 is a fair one, and do not think BiBs offer of $600 for the material on hand when put into a book is unreason able, but the University may r.ot be able to buy it, and probably your plan of paying him $1,C00 for the work he has done and giving h^'m until July 1908 to compile what he has, relieving h'm from duty as Librarian is as well as can be done, but T understand at the same time it is proposed to pay him salary; is this your proposition? If your plan is adopted, when that time comes we can determine what is best to be done about the publication of the book. Yo I.now it is very easy to criticise after a thing has been done, but the question is who could have compiled the history and done any better, and if Ihere was anyone who could would he have done it? I don't understand how Ellis could have made the errors in the threelists for Cliapman, because in his history he shows the different ranks in the civii war. As to the roll of honor for 1907, if my recollection is right, Ellis told mo it was not a complete one, on account of being very hastily compiled, or something of that, kind, but it is a good idea to bring these mistakes to his attention and let us see what his expla nation is.

Some time before the Civil War, I organized the Council Bluffs Guards, in which company Mr."Wheeler was a Lieutenant. , This company was the first one in.Towa to offer its services when war came.

' On page 37 T have noted that-Gen. Dana's initials are "NJT." I note what you say about the book case. There wi. 11 be at least four hundred (volumes, so you will have to get another case equally as large to hold the balance of the books. Perh.aps you could^P get the kind of cases you refer to as being sectional. You ask about the Grant Memorial matter. I-was before the Committee in Washington for fb ur days, and thirk we made a good impression, ane hope tlie Committee will be with us. lb shows how little interest the people of Nash'ngton take when there was not a citizen-present at the meeting and v/hen Mr. Bherly, C-ngressmah f rom Louisville, to present the other side of the question was only there a short time. . ' The Superintendent, Smith, who has made such a fuss, testified that but two of the one hundred and fifty trees transplanted on the capitap 1 grounds were alive. Ne brought in the Superihtendent and Gardener of the Capitol grounds, with a map showing that all of ti.e trees transplanted by Olmstead were alive, and some of them grown to be imiaens- trees, except fifteen, and none of these were lost on account of transplanting, but were broken dovm by wind, strosm, etc. making a compl t erfutation of the old Scotchman.

You sent to us for Norwich University a splend^ d yoiong officer. The Alumni of that university hold their annual banquet in New York City on February 15th. It would be a great pleasure to the University, and a much greater one to me, if you could be with us on that evening as the guest of the New York Alumni Asso ciation. We have the banquet on Saturday evening, which makes it easy for people to get here. There will be about 20 of our cadets there in uniform., with the officers, anfl many distinguished people, because it has become quite an event among the friencs of the Uni versity, and T ti.ink will give you quite an idea of the class of young men we are tur ling out there. We will have with us on that wvening Generals Porter, Grant, Howard and Johnston, Colonels Scott and Howze from West Point, Col. W. C.

Northfield, Vermont.- Dear Sir:- Uhile all we can do to change the General Staff on the question of the bill will help, still there is no possibility of passing it in this Congress, because the Uar Department will not report it back with approval to this Congress, and even General Bell cannot do this, as the Assistant Secretary of War has the matter in charge and is absolutely opposed to it. We will have to do a great deal of work before it is passed. The trouble is Congress"is not willing to make a large appropriation as the Army is struggling for pay win* oh they greatly need, and 1 told General Bell, that T, myself, would not do anything that would delay legislation, for the younger officers are really in distress under the cond .,ions that prevail now under the new rate bill. They cannot get any concessions or reductions from railroads in travel ling from post to post, and suffer from the great"extra cost in living expenses. The War Department does not want anything to go from that Department asking for money until after this bill hos become a law. When you and Chapman get there and General Bell shows you the report of t.e General Staff, you w'll ee the difficulties in the way much pla'ner than T can put them on paper. ^ One of the po'nts is that the. military colleges have not ^ shown themselves to be of much benefit to the army in raising volun teers, and feference is made to the Spanish War. They do not go back to the Civil War. Their report can easily be answered, because it is "full of statistics but they do not in any way answer the real merits of the bill. T think the matter should be presented to General Bell and get him to answer it, and also go before the Assistant Secretary of War and change his views. I thirk he made his report simply on the report before him without givin' it. thought, but Gene rS.1 Bell has given it thought, and if you could arrange and if you could arrange to get him and the Assistant Secretary of War together after you have been before the General Staff, I think it would go a long way. T will be glad to see you in New York and go.over the matter. T did not bring this matter up before the Committee because T did not want to have it up in Congress untll-we are prepared, but T did get the bill.recalled from the War Department by Senator Proctor, and asked Foster to have Haskins, who was not present, have it recalled iimmediately by the Military Committee of the House, so they would have nothing to report on. . ■ Very truly yours, G.

I was in Washington and before the Library Committee four days on these matters, and we proved to them beyond quest''on that these trees could be moved and saved. I think the Committee is convinced of that, and T think v/e also convinced them that the location is a proper one for the statue. There appears to be but little interest in the matter in Washington as no one from the city appeared against us. The only person who appeared was Representative Sherley of Kentucky, who was there on account of two of his constituents, Crittenden anc Beck, beiii!:^ interested, Super^'ntendent Smith was also sent for but I do not think his testimony had much weight, because he swored to the committee that of the 150 trees tha t were moved by Frederick Law Olmstead into the Capitol grounds all but two were dead, whereas Super'ntendent Woods and the Gardener of the Cap itol who was there when the trees were moved, brought in a map and showed that of the 155 trees moved all but 15 were al^ve, and only one of these died from moving; the other 14 were broken down by w'nd, etc. The map they brought showed the location of the trees, nd we went and looked at them, and found that some of them have grown to immense slase, I saw Cannon when I was ti.ere, and think when he knows the testimony we put before the committee he will find we are taking no par. in the Burnham plan, and that the location is a proper one for Grant no matter what is done with the Bumham plan, I did not have a moment while in Washington to see anyone; was at viork day and night, and was called away duddenly, or should have seen you, I will be over again in a short Lime, and will see you.

T take it your state ment compiled from the roster of the cadets who attended the institution and entered the service' includes only the tlexican and CivH War, the total number being 717 including the militia. You state there had been in attendance since 1819 a totl of 2866 men. "Have you any way of showing what the attendance was up to the close of the Civil War, so we can ihake a comparison of the nmer of cadets that attended the institu tion from 1819 up to say 1870 with the number that entered the service up to that date. It is not fair to make the comparison up to present date, because there has been no war since the CiV1 War, except the Spanish War, to give them an opportunity of entering the service, and they were virtually prohibited from getting into the sfervice in the Spanish War because the War Department took in only the militia, and in officering the regiments that went to the Philippines they took most of the officers from the militia that has been mustered into the service in Cuba, whose service had expired, so there was no opportunity for men outside the militia to get ^nto the service under the rules and regulations of the War Department unless they were members of the State militia.

Dod/^e, New York, Citv, N.Y. Dear General Dodse:- Yonr letter of January 27th duly to hand. I have computed the number of men enrolled at Norwich from 1835-1864. This of course includes men who would have graduated later than 1864 had they remained, and practically all who saw service in the Civil War. The total thus found is 956. 29 of these are recorded as dead prior to 1860. Doubtless a great many more died, but there is no record to show it. 427 of these then have recorded war service during the intervall. This is 46^ of the total enrollment. If we count 60 who were present for drills during the early part of the war, but were not enrolled as regular students, and on that account h-^d not their names in the catalog, the total is 487, or 49 and 3/lOths % Since reading your letter, - I have foiind the number of men from 1819-1835 who have recorded service in the Arrav or Navv. This number 50 added to the 487 gives 537; but to the 987 there must be added the enrollment from *19- *35. Referring to the History I find names of 843 recorded with an estimate of 500 more names not known, or a total of 1343. This added to the 987 would give a total of 2430, which would very much lower the percentage; and for that reason, if no other would not help our cause. Thus is seems to me that the process of compilation adopted is preferable; that is, of the actually recorded names 46^ or with the 60 "summer" men 49 and 3/lOths per cent of all inaattendance from 1835-1864. Of course in some of the southern states where these schools succeed in maintaining an existence through the war, their students entered the Army at a date later than 1864; but from Norwich I do not find any others who entered in season to have any part in the Civil War. I have In hand the statement from Va. Military Institute. Their total enrollment from foundation in 1839-1865 is"1430. Their total number of students having war service is 986; commissioned officers with war service 563. You will notice that these last two numbers Include men who have seen war service since the close of the Civil War. This total enrollment, and total number with war service Rives a percentage of 68 and Q/lOth percent; higher than for Norwich, but not more so than might reasonably be expected, all things considered. If upon consideration, you think it would be wise to make these compilations up to 1870, I shall be pleased to do it. Verv respectfully yours, C. H. Spooner, February, 1908, February 10, 1908, Copy • General 0. 0. Howard, * ' * ' Burlington, Vermont. • - . . My dear General:- I have gone over your description of the battle of Atlanta very carefully. I enclose you my description of the battle of Atlanta, also my letter to General Green B. Baum, criticising his account of this battle as published in the National Tribune. By reading these two you will see where it is necessary to correct your account far better than I can by writing in detail. My description of the battle and may letter to Raum give the data from the War Records, also from Strong's report, which you will note is pointed in the Army of the Tennessee records. It is very full and interesting, and it would be well for you to read it. On page 4 volume 2 of your work. Referring to ray forces in the battle. Fuller had only two brigades, one (Bprangue's) at Decatur, the other with Fuller, which was sent to Blair on the evening of July 21st by order of McPherson, because Blair's left was exposed and there was no cavalry. From ray report you will see that Blair instead of putting it into line camped the brigade about a quarter of a mile in rear of his left in an open field, and they formed right where they were camped when they went into the fight. See page 4, Dodge's Rattle of Atlanta. P^ge 5- Howard. McPherson did not send for Wagelin's brigade until he arrived on the ground and we were fighting. See Strong's report in Array of Tennessee record, volume 11 to IS, page 242. Also page 13- Dodge. Page 6. Howard. Dodge was sitting down to lunch just as firing commenced. He ordered Fuller to get into line, and sent an order to Sweeney, who cent no man to reconnoiter, as stated by Howard. See page 13- Dodge. Page 7. Howard. McPherson when he got on the field stood in rear of Fuller's right upon a knoikl upon which Fuller's tent was pitched and his ammunition trains were parked. He did not notify me, and I received no order from him and did not know he was there. See extract from Strong's report- Page 7- Dodge. P-ge 9.- Howard. It was Cleburne that struck Blair's flank and right. Manney did not get around to the rear of Blair until near 4 P.M., when Blair had formed Giles A. Smith's division at right angles to Leggett's and refused it so with Wangelin's brigade had nearly connected with my line, but some distance in the rear of my right. Here it was the last desperate attack was made on this part of Blair's line. See pages 9, 10, 19- Dodge. Page 13- Howard. You say Sherman sent a brigade to Decatur. That is a mistake. See Sprague's report. The only help he got was Swayne's regiment and some cavalry that were coming from Roswell with a portion of our trains. They got within reach of Decatur late in the afternoon, and hearing the firing, Swayne left his train and went to the aid of Sprague. He reached there just in time for Sprague to hold 'ffheeler, who had pressed him through the town, and save our trains. One b was over, and Decatur, as I and I did not One rigade came from Schofield left after my fighting I suppose that is the brigade which was intended for had sent word to Sherman that Sprague was hard pressed knew- have a man to send him, and asked him to rend help to Sprague. Cox says in his report that he cme to my relief at my request. As I made no request I think there was a mix of orders- he should have gone to Sprague instead of to my left. Pages 13-14, Howard. See statement of Captain, Jonas, my A. D. C. on page 11- Dodge.

I saw that they were rebs but what in thunder they was doing there i had road clean by them. They hadn't seen me nor I pern. There was a good many brush right along the"road that prevented me seeing them , of course you remember Palweye v;ore the bn^ternut so I whirled my horse aroxmd and road up in the rear to .ascertain what this meant. I road up to the fellow on extreme right as I road up I remarked where is all of our men. Why in hell don't over that raise there. 4!?'' remarked. Then I knew Well, What General was up. Pnrdee I then is snokrto coming up here In fron" but n'o°t inside of their lines. I made few words do for I knew there wasn't a ^ d 4!"^4 that sure. After for x reoorted I knew there to vnn was T goin'- to be \ a bloodv Dioody fight r^^hi■ thfrr"" s«rLo?rflred!-TwLL°r whartSt'lr The hell you ray", . "Yes <^ir" "Whv rn/j li come in from therei* Dodge?".

The Penorol then ord?r?d^me to rid? Ihere, there and ascertain what that firing meant u t started what the rebels were f-ininrr a4 wu him before 1 moving their hospital but neverthele-s'out and down through that old delapitated field I went I^'knL^ left wheel • was going to meet life or death but I would rnth2j:*H4 ^ said I was a coward. 1 crossed the ravine and up the^embaSkSe^t > ipJt" ^ crossed the ravine I come into heavy timber. I then and o 5 all ?? at once 1 looking to my right along ride mountain, turned my eyes in front of me; a quick gerk of the rein ; I stopped my horse;there stood three rebel lines right in front of me and 1 nm positive they weren't over a hundred and twenty feet from me;the first line stood at trail armes; the other-two at right shoulder. The were standing at foot of a small hill down on ^ level. I looked at them and they at me. I looked all along their line. 1 seen it extending (^uite a ways to my rig]it. To my left it e?:terded about three hundred feet, would be my guess. Now why I it was I didn't know, I didn't feela bit afraid, while i was standing there looking at them and they never moved nor nade a motion for any kxnu. but when I whirled my horse then fun commenced in earnest and dovm the hill I"went shot after shot went, other words volley after volley. It was already reported to Sweeney . Into battle lire he run; ordered his men to open fire but be careful not to shoot the scout. The rebels jumped the ravine and on they co;re till our men shot them down. When I come up to our lines the General give the command"open the lines and let the'scout in," So commenced the battle of the 22nd . Now, General that was the closest place ever I was in and come out with my hide whole. i often think of that ride. I don't see how they didn't ketch me when I was coming upthat hill when my horse scaled the ravine. I then layed right beside my horse. There is a man living here by the name of hilly Kapale. Jle was a recruit in the secon ' lowa inf antry. He was elected leasurer here in our bounty for sever-1 years. He was right .in ranks there where i com in. ^illy would tell it as a daring ride one of Gen. Dodge's scouts made. I got acquainted with him . He found out that i was one rode- Ye.-,, I can ^ describe- th horse all describe right." the i told horse him that thenscout I was the larkey that m^de that ride. About eight years or ten ago someone sent me a washirrrtnyi truth I rode .down and the first thing I knew I rode ri-ht thine and cent to the Trlbnne, but the ckunJ^L?;? "nMLhedl?!

It was the time they offered five hundred dollars for mjr scalp. i was lying at Decattir. I took some of my men and road down towards Gadson and I captured a rebei mnil. I took it from a -^boy that had rickets in his back. He had a wagon partly loaded with salt and some other truck. He was close to home when I met him. I turned and come with him home, i'then took his muies and three other span, they,had at home on the"farm. He had a brother in the rebel army. He was a Major, When 1 come in i sent the mail to you at Athens. You remember I sent you a nev/spaper that was printed at Gadson. There was a piece in .it where Randy Band payed Dixy ar^d the editor wished him luck and God Speed. Speed that he -might be successful in driving the "^anks at Decatur back over the river. You sent for me to come up. You told me you would like to see that boy and have a talk with him. I sent him up. Wlien he come back you .wrote a letter to .me. You signed it Hensal, uhicf of Scouts. Then he knew who I was.In the first place that scou.-dral should never been allowed inside.for he was a tool for the Eebs. He made a date when to meet me on the rlint River, down ba'ck of Defords, field. 1 was positive it was a trap to catch me. The boys all thought the same but when the day come, I went but not as he expected for I was to com alone, i took three men with me tha-t I knew were all right, we armed ourselves for the fray and out we rode, trur picket was doubled for we knew that Randy wasn't far off when I went out i talked to the picket and tolJi^them all about it and what I expected and for them to assist me if needed in close quarters. The Sargent said all right. It wasn't over two miles from where ± left outpost to where j. was going. Away we went up past rords house wg went; made a left wheel down to i-lint River where i was to meet him but no sign of him. l<'inally one of the bovs seen him stick his head out'from behind a tree. There was a doc; raft Tim Doley to dismount and get on the raft and go over. He did.

We had our horses under the spur but kept quiet while the Jonnies were spurring ard holl ering "You Yankies, sons of bitches you are our meat/ " Some of the boys remarked they remind me of some starved cyotes. I remarkeu "Wait till the time comes. They will get it", ^ome of the boy s wanted to ride the horses i to the Tennesee River . I told them no. That ■ would'n't do. They would shoot us off our horses like dogs. I remarked "We must face the music if they do number us ten to one. our infantry will help us for I know they hear them holler.

Army .Corps who under Sherman marched from Ghat.tanooga to Knoxvllle; they had marched from Itemphis to Chattanooga living off fif .the tountry. They were short of^overcoats and bTankets and shoes and on tnis march to Knoxvllle "to Gen. Longstreet who had it surrounded^ they struck a country that was sa-i.d to be Un'on and full of the good things they needed and when they rounded up in front of Knoxvllle.and made Long'street retreat they were well clothed and well fed, and there have been a great many ctltic isms against Gen. Sherman on that march from the fact that his troops foraged on Un'on men and at a dinner in Nashville in Dec. 1863 that was given by Gen. Granger who commanded that post to Gen. Grant, Sheridan, Rawl'ns and others were present also Gen. Granger's mother, an old lady who had been brought up in the army, her husband had been an officer and she had thoroughly imbibed in her system the old theory that a soldier should never trespass upon a private citizen no matter ^f he was an enemy, and at tile's dinner s]:e called Gen. Sherman very aggressively to account. All of us around the table were watch-'ng to hear from Sherman who being a guest did not l^ke to antagonize ti.i s old lady but she poured the hot shot into liim, calling his attention to the customs of the old army until he could stand it no longer, and he answered her in about this language; he said that h"s soldiers had marched four or five hundred miles to reach Chattanooga that he had to go to Knoxvllle because Gen. Gordon Granger was so slow that he would not reach tliere before Longstreet would capture the place that if these people whom his soldiers had foraged upon were Union people they certainly would have been very glad to feed and cloth them. That ^f they were rebels he had a perfect r^'ght to take their food and clothing but he said, "Madam, T thought you knew me well enough to know that if my soldiers were march^'ng through a dountry and were suffering for the want of food or clothing and it was to be found that the Question whether the citizen or the soldier should have it would not take me long to determine." Prom that t'me on to the end that dinner was a very cold -ne. Now what the chapter of the Daughters of American Revolution can find here relating to the Rebolut*onary War to commemorate T do not know but this Missouri Valley has got a ..istory ndt quite as old as that of the Revolut'on but just as ^'mportant and it seems to me that if they would turn their attention to commemorating the events that have happened in it and file their data with tl-e Historical Society of the city, they would be doing a great and valuable work. This Missour" Valley as far back as we know or have read of it was a great highway to reach the whole northwest, the Indians used it with their canoes and their trails up and dov/n the valley from the mouth to its head were great broad roads. Le.vis and Clark immortalized it and following tiiem came the furtraders and the settlements. When T first came into it there were noted men living here sue as 3 rpee. Eapentur, Charley Lombard and many others. Captain Henry Chttenaon has written a very interesting book upon tie American fur-trader which gives the early history of the Missouri Valley. He has also written upon the early steamboating on the Missouri. BlialO 1908. ^ Thwaites in h^i s hi story s of early travels in the west has immortali zed it while in your publ^'c library there are over 300 volumes giving the history of the work of the Jesuit missionaries, which is a complete history of all this country west of the lakes. There is hardly a foot of .this valley that has not been fought over by the Indians so that the mine for your work is inexhaustible," o "i" i' so " . ... ,*• i ' c . !i* ir.i.tlb blow HTlfd.'.'o , :.'.i r-ift.i.'

February 28, 1908, General Grenville M. Dodge, ITo.l Broadway, , New York City, N. Y. Dear Sir and Comrade:- With reference to our conversation at Senator Allison's on the 21st inst., I enclose herewith a copy of the Special Act under which a soldier was granted the Medal of Honor. I do not know the circumstances but am inclined to believe it a case probably lacking of record in the V/ar Department. As regards the requested correction of my record, I was seventeen years of age when I enlisted August 12, 1862 having been born May 27, 1845 in Pittsburgh, Pa., and was a clerk in Woolworth's Book Store at St. Joseph, mo., at that time, and not eighteen years of age and a railroad man as noted on the record. I desire very much to have these discrepancies corrected and have included reference to enlistment and age in my sworn statement which you had recently in your keeping. A As to the Commission on the Retired List under Special Acts of Congress, I do not find the entrj^ of any except (so far as I know) those retired with pay. I thought perhaps if the case were presented I might secure by special act the appointment without pay, and so be made eligible, in spite of failures in the past to receive a Commission, for the societies and privileges I mentioned. It means so much to me and all my loved ones. Let roe again thank you for your great kindness. Fraternally yours, Lucius D. Alden, Late "F" 33rd Missouri Infty Vols., 3rd Brigade 1st Division, 16th Army Corps. (Copy of enclosure) DIGEST OP OPINIONS, JUDGE ADVOCATE GENERAL OF THE ARMY, 1901.

RESOLVED BY THE SENATE AND HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OP THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICAN IN CONGRESS ASSEMBLED, That the Secretary of ^ar be, and he is hereby, authorized and directed to award the Congressional medal of honor to Roe Reisinger, alias J.

For m.any years I never kept track of the date of entry into this wicked world but now my friends are doing it. The prettiest and most artistic dj(>^ner I have attended of late years was given me a week ago and I send youa a brief notice of it, knowing how much interest you take in the men you commanded, and how your tig heart always beats in sympathy with theirs. There were twenty--all personal friends, and the diiiner host was the most public spirited and generous of the merchants of this c > t"". As an instance of his character I may mention that after one bia fire o? of about v35,000. But he is apparel even better to the known destitute here as women a bon at vivant a cost and man of taste. The decoration were most simple, beina the snrav b ranches and blossoms of almond, which is Just now in bloom. i * wish my old Commander could have been present. VI n®".psparlng for the advent of the Bettle ship these wishes. le was at the banquet. Very sincerely yours. Alex G. Hawes New York, February 29, 1908. Col. J. A. T. Hull, Chairman Military Committee, House of Representatives, Washing on. My dear Colonel Referring to the hill that is before your committee for the retirement of General 0. 0. Howard as Lieutenant General, I desire to say in behalf of the Society of the Army of the Tennessee, of which Gen. Howard is a member, and which army he commanded from the time of the death of General McPherson unfl the review in "?rashin~ton, that we earnestly desire that this honor be paid General Howard. He is the only living army commander who has no had this honor conferred upon him, and it seems to us that liis long service in the army, rising, as he did, to the highest rank and command In the army, justifies the unanimou ■; passage of the bill. It passed the Senate unanimously and we believe should receive as favorable consideration from your committee and the House. T cannot see how the applications of these who have never commanded an army should interfere with his promotion. Since the War General Howard has devoted his services to building up the education al institutions of the country, and to charity, and have been of as much value to the country as those performed in the civil war. I know that in asking this I speak the sentiment of the survivors of that grand old army of the Tennessee. Truly and cordially. Grenville M. Dodge. Garner lov/a, Mar. 3d, 1908. Gen'l. G, M. Dodge, Dear Sir and Comrade I do not suppose you will remember me as I was only a 2d Lieut, in Co. G. 52nd 111. inft. but as the years go by my mind goes back to those days when so many of us were giving thbesd days of our lives to sustain the union, and the remembrance of those with whorwe associated with in those days come up vividly befo:e us. I have often seen your name mentioned in connection with various gatherings and finally concluded to write you . I was with my Regi ment all through the various campaigns from 61 to 65. was wounded at Pittsburg landing and at Corinth Miss. Was all through the Atlanta Campaign. My Company G. was on the skermish line the day you were wounded and I directed the conveyance of your body to the rear. And one of my company, W. e. Jayne helped convey you to the rear. I was much interested in your article published in the National Tribune two or more y^ars ago. Your account of the execution of the spy Davis particularly interested me. As at that time I had charge of the Provost Guard and''under my care was all the prisoners. There were some 30 or 35 Commissioned Officers quartered in the Court House and some in the jail. They were a bad lot and I had to watch them closely. The morning Davis was executed I helped the Provost Marshall take him from the jail and put him into the wagon to go to the execution. I remained with my guard in the Court House over these officers as thev were uneasy and I did not know what might take place in my absence. I tied Davis hancfe behind him before we took him from the iail. He was game clear through. I was mustered out of service at Port McAlster by reason of youngest son is working of the American Sabbath ochool union as a Missionary. Some time ago he was at Council ii brother. My son told him his father was u ^ Dodge s command in the army and he sent me one of vour photographs which I appreciate very much. I have another of your photographs thken at Corinth, Miss. The last one represents a much older man than the first one. And soon we all will have passed into t]e great beyond, ^^t it matters not if we are prepared to po If prepared it will be an endless rest. P^eparea lo go.

We had a splendid time at Vicksburg, Everybody speaks of it as being well-handled, and the attention we received -.yas a great deal more than we expected. The Governor was also very gracious to us, and took us to Jackson and all over that c^ty, so we all returned from Vicksburg with a warm place in our hearts for it. Our going there ■ has brought a good deal of attent^'on to it from otiier cities in the south, and T see that Atlanta is going to try Cor the G.a.R. encampment next year, T7e have had two or three applications to go to other Southern cities, but unless we go to some dty where there is a prominen battlefield, T think for the present we w-'ll have to stay lii the north.

I notice on your list one Council Bluffs boy - Hugh M. Burk. ffffg- used to know nim and all his family. ' When you see him please . remember me to him. m - v.' , It is always a great pleasure to hear from the old veterans who , were with me, and who served with me so loyally, bravely and well. I shall never forget the 9th regiment. It was a remarkable regiment ^ and did remarkable service. I congratulate you upon your 75th birthday and the ev'dent good health you enjoy. If you had attended our last reunion at Vicksburg you would have enjoyed it greatly. I hope you will be able to attend pur next reunion at St. Louis, » Truly and cordially yours, G. M. Dodge. March, 1908 Council Bluffs, Iowa., March 5, 1908, General G. M. Dodge, No.l B'way, Nev/ York. My dear General I have yours of recent date with reference to entprtainnient of Secretary Taf.t, and we will proceed to arrange for a reception at the Elks Club in the afternoon of the day he gets here. Congressman Smith has advised us that the Secretary will be here on April 7^^ and we are making arrangements accordingly. I will keep you advised of the details as we proceed with them. As to your presiding at the banquet, we are, of aourse, a unit in the desire that you do so, but it will be our privelege to make this banquet an affair of comfort and pleasure to you, and if it is your desire that someone else officiate in that capacity, your wishes will, of course, be respected. YOU probably see from the public press, that the Allison campaign in Iowa is moving on apace. We are now practically assured of the control of the March 18 convention and that will give us trem.endous prestige in the cam,paign later. It looks now as if there would be no divided delegation to the National convention, but that all the delegates will be Allison republicans. Sincerely yours, Victor E. Bender. . r»T '-■'Tw.v,,.'' New York, March. 5, 1908 Hon. Fletcher D. Proctor, Proctor, Vermont. My dear Governor; The death of your father comes to me as a personal bereveement. For many y^ars we hav«r been warm personal friends, and have had occasion to work together many times, and long ago T came to have the highest respect for his high character and great ability. His long, distinguished and practical services in the Senate were recogn-'zed throughout the country. I did not know that he was 111, and the news of his passing away is a great shock to me. As we grow older we learn to appreciate our friends better tiian in our younger days. His great interest in Norv;ich University brought us into close touch, and that institution has lost one of its very befit supporters and friends. He was never too busy to advise and assist any of the graduates of thai university who came to him, and it was his custom when young men were looking for commissions in Washington to personally go with them and see that they had very opportunity given them. Tn your great loss I tender to you, and the members of your family, my heart-felt sympathy. T wish it were possible for me to attend the fineral services, but I cannot take the trip to Vermont at this time. Truly and cordially, Grenville M. Dodge. ;'S March, 1908. Omaha, Nebraska, March 6, 1908. Gen. G, i'!. Bodge, No.l Broadway, N. Y. Dear General Enclosed please find letters from Mr, Sargent which father gave me to read and to forward to you. I have today written him in regard to the matter mentioned in his letter and T enclose to you a copy of my letter to him. In spite of t'ne rumors of financial depression in the east, business locally seems to hold up very well. The building permits, for the first two months of this year exceed those of last year and as far as I can observe I see promise of an excellent business year. Our business seems to be as good as susual and I personally have no complaint. I was talking yesterday with a directory man who just came from Minneapolis, St.Paul and the Dakotas. He said there was no sign of depression and hard times in that country and as far as he could observe, that the depression had hit the south more than the middle west. At the same time the trains cannot hold the number of people that want to take advantage of the low rates going south and west. Bather had to wait four days before he could get a berth for Texas. I may be wrong but it seems to me that a year from nov the business people in the west and the railroads will all admit that there was a good deal of hysteria and noise over a very small burn financially. Of course, I have no reference to conditions in the east, and T know that we in the west have no conception of the amount of money that has been lost by the well to do. We hope to see you out here soon and that you will make a long visit with us. Laura is well and we are looking forward to getting out in the country and getting our horses back with us. Very truly yours. N. P. Dodge, Jr. (Enc.) March, 1908. Omaha, Nebr., March 7, 1908, C. 7,. r^argeht, 3127 T St., Lincoln, Nebr, Dear Mr, Sargent:- . I read j^our letters and clippings feent to father, with great interest- and. I have forwarded them today to Gen. Dodge in New York. I am hardly in accord with the work you are trying to start for the erection of a monument to Abraham Lincoln. It seems to me that the people and the press of Lincoln and of the state of Nebraska ought to take up this matter at once and start a permanent organization for the collection of the contributions from the people of the state for this purpose. Possibly if it were brought to the attention of the Governor by the proper party in Lincoln, he would appoint a state commission to carry out your idea. If the city of Lincoln and the students of the university wonld start the fund by a wide spread and popular contrbution from all the citizens and the school children of Lincoln there would be no difficulty in then calling upon the people of the state and city of Omaha to complete the fund. The children particularly shoiild be inspired to contribute their pennies to this fund and r.othing would so lead to the study of the character and life of Lincoln as the inciting of their interest by asking for contributions to this statue. We can hardly expect the people of the state to take a great interest in the monument unless the city that is to be the most benefited by its erection lead in the contribution. Lincoln^ unfortunately, has had the reputation, however unjustified, it may be, of resorting to legislative appropriation for municipal improvement. If the city of I,incoln will start this monument by contributing a substantial sum and then asking the Governor to appoint a state wide committee to complete the funds, I am sure that the people of the state and the city of Omaha will heartily respond. This statue would be the tribute from the people such as it would not be were the city of Lincoln to ask the legislature to make an appropriation for the erection of the statue. One word further. It seems to me approprate that when this statud is to be executed, that Solon and Gutzon Porglum the most famous sculptors Nebraska has ever had the honor of being the birth place of, be invited to submit designs in competition with all American scul|)tors that have been selected to execute the most famous statuds for the past two yearg, and it seems to me most appropriate that the tribute of the Nebraska people to the "great emancipator" be executed by one of her famous artists. Very truly yours, N. P. Dodge. Boston Mass. 1908 , March 8. My dear General: On my way up from the south I saw Granger in Washington seme weeks ago and thru' him heard of your residence in the Bluffs. I have had, during the past year, some correspondence with McCartney, and some news from him about the Western Pacific, Has Harriman got his claws on that road or is ^uld still an independent man and manager? Possibly you saw in the March Outlook a long article about E H Harriman. T'lere are two items of information I want very much. Can you aid me in obtaining them? One is the geight of the roadbed at the east end and at the west end of the cros s ing of Great Salt Lake. I was out there 16 months ago and did not think the grade was more than 6 feet or 7 fret above the surface of the water. With great regard, I am, >'ery truly, P. S. Hodges. New York, March 9, 1908. W. Frank Pearsons, Esq., Secretary The Charity Organization Society, 105 East 22d Street, New York, Dear S-'r:- I am in receipt of yours of March 5th inquiring as to Mr, Atwell and his connection with a donation of $50,000 to Norwich University, Mr, Atwell never had anything, whatever, go do with that donation; T know that Mr. Carnegie nrver heard of him in connection with it. The donation was made by Mr. Carnegie to Norwich University on his own motion. It was his intent'on to give it in my name and honor, from the fact that we were young men together in the seventies and have been close friends since, but wiien he made the ondation he found that I had erected a building known as Dodge Hall, therefore the donation could not be accepted in my name and my honor, but on account of his fr^'endship for me he made the donation to the University, I was the only person Mr. Carnegie talked with in relation to this matter. I know that Mr. Atwell had nothing wljatever to do with it. T do not know about the contracts that you speak of, but am told by the trusteew of the University that he hadno basis for his claim. It was an Aftert; ought, and, in my op^nio^i, was not creditable to him, and his work for the ijniversity in the Dewey Hall matter I am told by the trsutees was not satisfactory to them, I have never heard of any suit against the university in Vermont, I am a trustee of the Univer sity, Of course, I do not wish to enter Ihto any controversy with Mr, Atwell, or anyone else, in relation to these matters, but send you the facts, trusting they will be treated as you say perfectly confidential.

Dodge Will you kindly turn to page 4, Volume 2, of my Autobiography I propose to omit "of the center", 8th line from top, so that it will read 'was in camp >vell back in the rear of the Army of the Tennessee." Page 5, 10th line from top, introduce after "moment" the words" after the battle began", so that the sentence will read "except that McPherson at the last moment after the battle began had sent Wangelin's small Brigade to watch that space. Also the 5th line from bottom change the "were' to "had been", so that the phrase will read "where he and Fuller had b^enn together'.' 10th line from top, page 6, omit the phrase "what about 12 m." and substitute "later in the day", arid have the first complete sentence stop just before this phrase, so that it will read, "Later in the day he heard that there had been an attack upon his hospitals, "etc. 15th line from top, same page substitute "Dodge" for "Sweeney". 18th line, same page, omit "on Sweeney's report". Page 8, 3rd line from top, put in after "Hardee": "after Dodge had twice repulsed his right with great loss", so that the line will read, "Hardee, after Dodge had twice repulsed his right with great loss, faced a forest." Same page, 6th line, strike out whole sentence: "On he came for over two miles." Also strike out in 11th line another sentence, "^is caused the first firing heard." In the 12th line, same page, strike out the word "interview and substitute "delay", so that the sentence will read "After the briefest delAy with Dodge". Page 9, 6th line, substitute "Cleburne's" for "Maney'd".Page 10, 19th line from top, substitute "Iowa" for "Ohio", so that the sentence will read, "0ol. Belknap of the 15th Iowa." I thought of putting a note at the foot of page 13, referring to the 6th line: "Only one regiment, Swayne's with some cavalry, reached Sprague. Cox's help intended by Dodge for Decatur, came to him later in the dayT" Page 14, 12th line from bottom, after the words "aTded by" introduce this phrase, "Swayne's regiment, and ", so that the sentence will read, "aided by Swayne's regiment and Kuhn's battalion of mounted infantry," etc. I see plainly that I was led astray by Gen. Sherman's report and statements in his book, and perhaps by my own report which I drew upon information and not on personal knowledge. It was my conviction, which I now know was erroneous, that the battle began just in the rear of Blair near his hospitals, instead of with you. Will you kindly notice if the changes that I suggest will make my account reasonably clear? Of course I would prefer to rewrite or recast the whole, but cannot do It verj'- well, without great cost. When T speak of the reconnaissance between Plain's left and your command, it will answer just as well to put Dodge for Sweeney as you did send an officer and probably men, to look over that ground. Kindly write me how Sweeney and Fuller stood with reference to each ekde other when in battle. Was Fuller's force to the right and .'Weeney s to the left as they faced the enem", or v/as Sweenev's force to the right and Fullers to the left as they faced the enemy? or Hoping you will have a pleasant journey to the west^ I remain, Sincerely yours, 0.

Awaiting an early and favorable reply, I am, very sincerely yours, James L, Poley, Chaii'man of the Banquet Committee. New York^f; March 19, 1908. Dear Nate: I do not know whether this w^'ll find you at the ranch or not. Tf it does you will see by the letter T am writing Friday that I expect to be in Uvalde the last of April. My plans are to go with Mr, Truinbull about the middle df April over our lines in Colorado and Texas, and after I get through to go west to Uvalde and look after matters there; then to El Paso, then back along the Texas & Pacific and look after my lands, then slowly up the Fort Worth and Denver, stopping at each po'nt there. I f-"nd that T have to give these matters personal attent^'on. Jennings left them in such shape we cannot unravel them pxcept I am on the ground at each place. Hope you are having a pleasant visit. I shall arrange to have Friday meet me at Uvalde. X think your proposition of selling 3 and 5 and leasing 7, 9 and 37 is all right. You have not written me anything about Bandera County - whether Friday could g o ovei' there but T will see him about it when I get down there. Very truly yours, G. M. Dodge. 1908. The third ban<jUefof the Iowa Society of New York was held at the Plaza Hotel on March 22. It was the last banquet that I attended as President of the Society. There was a large attendance and Gov. Hughes of Iowa, Gov. A. B. Cvunniins of Iowa, Congressman Frank 0. Lowden, a native of Iowa, but a citizen of Illinois, took part in the banquet. Some two hundred twenty-five Hawkeyes and guests werd in attendnace and the spedches of Hughes and Cxiramins were given very close attent^'on. They both expressed the^'r views politically and socially; they were both considered progressives. Governor Cumm^'ns said: "Remembering the awful retirubtion wh^ch so swiftly followed the "Fairbanks cocktail, " I ask you to r^se and dr'nk with me in water if there is such a fluid here--to t]:e health and prosperity of Charles E. Hughes, Governor of the State of New York. He then proposed another toast to the commander of armies, the constructor of railwasy, the patriotic citizen, the president of your Society, General Grenville M. Dodge." When I introduced Ifovernor Hughes the welcome was so tumultuous that it was several minutes before he could speak. March, 1908. Des Moines, March 26, 1908, Gen. Grenville M. Dodge, Council Bluffs, Iowa." My Dear General;- I herewith hand you the brief historical sketch of your old regiment which you read at the historical building this morning, and which T wish to have you go over more at your leisure. I am placing this manuscript in your hands with the request that you will make such additions and alterations as may suggest themselves to you after a more careful reading. It is the purpose of the Board to have the manuscript for the first Volume in the hands of the printer not later than the 1st of May- *08. So I will be greatly obliged to you if you will return the enclosed copy with whatever changes 3rou may wish made as above indicated, not later than the 20th of April. I am very anxious to have this historical sketch as complete as it is possible to make it under the act, and had purposely left a margin for at least 12 pages more than the manuscript now contains, so do not hesitate to freely suggest such alterations and additions as i^ou may think desirable. In so far as it is possible for me to do, I am submitting the historical sketch of each Iowa regiment and organi zation to one of its survivors, who I consider most capable of passing a judgment upon it, before publication. The first volume will contain the histories and revised rosters of the 1st to the 10th Infantry, inclusive. We may be able to get out one or two more volumes before the meeting of the next General Assembly. At all events, whether it be one or more Volumes, it will show the scope and plan of the whole work and enable us to get the necessary additional appropriatio to complete it. The Volumes will be convenient size for handling, well printed and bound containing about 1000 pages each, the entire set to consist of six volumes, with possibly one more volume of about 400 pages devoted' exclusively to the early military history of the State. Yours very truly. G. W. Crosley, Secretary. April, 1908. Des Moines, April 1, 1908, General G. M. Dodge, Council Bluffs, lov/a. My Dear General Yours of March 28th, with newspaper clipping and the manuscript "Sketch of the 4th Iowa Infty." was duly received. I' thank you for the three additions you suggest, and will incorporate them in their proper place in the body of the work. I have never seen the biographical sketch of yourself by Mr. Granger, or the sketch in the Pottawattamie County history, and would like very much to have them, will greatly appreciate the favor if you will send them to me. I will be glad to comply with your request to have Col. Nichols examine my sketch of the 4th Inf. I will tell him it is sent at your request and ask him to make such suggestions as may occur to him. I hope to have all the material for the first Volume in the hands of the Pinter by the Ist of June at the latest, and to have the Volume out in August or September. Of course there may be delays not now anticipated, but the book will be published just as soon as careful proof reading can be completed, as the sheets come back to me. I want it to be satisfactory in every way. Yours very truly, G. W. Crosley. '141 \ Chicago April 10, 1908, My dear General Dodge: I am much gratified to receive your personal letter of the 9th inst. I quite agi'ee with, your conclusions respecting the effect of the recent panic on the agricultural districts of the country in comparison with the manufacturing sections. It is evident they have suffered less. The high prices obtained by agriculturists for the products of the farm, inclusive of live stock, during the past year have placed that interest on a firm financial basis, a condition that is shared by the merchants and other classes of business directly related to agriculture. The large falling off in Gross Earnings of this Company( and we are suffering severely) is due mainly to a recession in the volume of merchandise, manufactures and minerals, although there is less tonnage in grain especially corn. The gih prices of th-t cereal indicate a short cropand poor quality. I think all carriers are confronted with losses from now until Autumn in Gross, and of course in Net There is a limit in the reducuion in numbers of employes, as well as curtailment in expenditures on account of physical improvements and maintenance. It is fairly due the carriers, in view of all the conditions, that charges should be increased for t e service they render the public, and I am firmly of the opinio. that the ublic is willing to pay a fair price for ®^"ficient transprotation service. How to accomplish an increase which v/ould at the same time recognise competitive conditions between carriers, as well as between locations, is an intricate doubtless aware th-t in three western states where the out o, + thejdirect consent operates of the R its ilrord lines 'commissioners we cannot make of such advances stateswith een all th^lines! effective would need to be a simultanioue as betw enjoyable visit in your old home and that I may have the opportunity of seeing you either on vourw-^v to New York or there sometime in the near future. ^ yourway This is of course an entirely personal lettor.

When I recall the active and ever fearless part, you, my dear General, have always taken in any important matter, in time of peace as well as time of war,- at least since I have had the pleasure and honor of knowing you- I cannot help but consider you a perfect marvel. This country has had the good fortme to number you among their generals; many of them brave and truly noble men; yet, my dear General, permit me to say, that to judge by my own personal exper ience ( and I think that I know everyone of them), none deserves morehonor and credit than my honored friend.

April 14th, 1908, My dear General;- Your letter of April 9th has just reached me, finding me at home, where I have been for nearly two weeks laid up with a pretty serious illness which has required absolute quiet, and from which I have not yet recovered. I have just spent an hour to-day with Dr. Delafield, the most eminent medical authority in this city, as you know, and he has advised me to go to Hot Springs, Virginia, starting about next Tuesday, to remain two or three weeks. So not much can be expected from me, except that I can get Coker, ra y son, and others to help in the matter. I have been trying all day to get the Tariff people by telephone, but the principal man is not in and is not expected until tonight or tomorrow morning; so I will send the letter ahead and send any further news from him as soon as I shall have received it. I think these peo pie will do something, but when they will do it I cannot tell any more than any one else. They seem extremely friendly to A. and as unfriendly to the other man, and they know the value of A. as well as anybody in the world knows it. I will keep at them and I think something can be relied upon from them if anything can be from anybody in these peculiar financial times. ' The G.'slthought were going to come to time week before last, but they ventured upon the Yukon Gold stock deal, as you know, as it was in the papers, under the help of Lawson, and instead of the matter bringing misfortune, it went the other way; so now they say they will have to depend on something else. As soon as I can get some one to talk to them, I will immediately write you. in ir. Iowa, Tr.

Therefore, much of it drivers, and that most of our roads in their bridges, in their shops, and all of Its improvements have had to be recon structed in the same way and are only. today being made permanent; when you I consider than in an early day the ques tion of terminals was never a factor, while today the terminals of some roads passing through some cities cost more than the road itself; when you see such roads as the Pennsylvania spending >iOO,- 000,000 to get Its passenger trains only into New York city, and the New York Central spending an equal amount to en large its passenger facilities in New York; when you see such great systems in the west as the Union Pacific and the Southern Pacific having spent in the last five years over $200,000,000 to reduce their curvatures and grades and to see the immense sums that hqve to be spent all over the United States to develop the capacity of the properties, you can then' begin to comprehend the fact which staticians who have examined the question thoroughlj'- say that the railroads of the United States today are not over capital ized. In other words, there has been more actual money put into them than their stock and the bonds represent. Thl.s has been attested to by the president of the United States, who probably has given it closer attention than any one else out side of the railroads, and by the inter state commerce commission, who have also given it great study, and they have both given the opinion that the roads today of the United States are not over capitalized, and that fact is becoming patent to the people of the United States, for the great increase in stockholders in the roads of the United States today shows that instead of these properties be ing in the hands of a few wealthy men, as is often asserted, they are owned most in this country by a vast number of stockholders, which Is increasing daily. People Should See the Truth. "It is the duty of us who have been long connected with the roads, or who were connected with them in an early, day. to do what we can to educate the people of the United States as to the real facts In connection with railroading. In my opinion where the railroad people, have been lacking In their duties Is in not educating the people as the years went by, and setting forth more clearly to them the railroad interests and their intentions, Tlie fact Is that every rail-' read man lias been so busy looking afterj the proper administration of liis property that he has very seldom or ever gone into a defense or explanation of his work. As a proof of this I have been a railroad man continuously since I was 19 years oldi and this is the first letter that I have' ever written that in any way went to a defense of the railroads of the country. I have been in favor from the beginning with a great many other railroad men of the country who were among the first to bring the necessity to the government's attention of proper legislation for bring ing about uniformity, in all service, rea sonable and fixed rales without rebates with proper control of the railroads of the United States. Tiie necessity for this' has only come In the last few years, and It Is recognized now almost universally by railroad men, and your association can do a great deal to continue it in a sen sible, and profitable way, and I trust at this meeting a permanent organization of the roalrcad men will be formed for Proud of Record Made. "Every one of you should be proud of! the fact that you have been a part of and did your duty in the great railroad field that numbers many of our ablest men and officials of our country, that you have been a part of that great system which employs over a million and a half of our population, and as one of you, the highest compliment that can be paid me when I am gone is that I was over fifty years one of the railroad fra ternity of the United States and did my duty tQ the best of my ability. "It is a great disappointment to me that I cannot be present with you, to first grasp by the hand my old chief • peter A. Day, whom I hold to be one of the ablest of the railroad men of our. country, one of the squarest, fairest and most just of all the men I ever met, and the two Houses, J. E. and George, who were In our little party that crossed the Mississippi river in 1853. "Truly and cordially your comrade, "GRENVILLE M. DODGE." ! J J':; I H ./f nO i.oT J' f ■'o "KV/ffj" ■ fl" 'a .to (ju r.«*r ■ f ,85 1908 .0001 Mr. John N. Baldwin died in Omaha on April 16, 1908. He had been sick for two years. He was one of the strong men of Iowa and the friendship of his fathej*, Judge Caleb Baldwin had come^ down through h^"m f ^ to me and his death caused a great sorrow. P.or twenty-nine years he had been connected with the legal department of the Un-'on Pacifc and for two years was its general Solicitor. H's rise was remarkable —starting in CounCl Bluffs thirty years ago from a local attorney in that city he- rose by steps to the •head of his profession as the leader in politics; in fadt,' was looked upon as t, e controler of the Republican, politics of Nebraska. The Democratic paper, the "World Herald," in speaking of him says: "iBy the election of November 4, in Nebi:;aska the sceptor was transferred anew to an uncrowned k^ng, s name did not appear upon the official ballot, nor w-11 the official canvassing board proclaim the ascendancy of John N. Baldwin's pol^t^cal star, yet the campaign that has just closed has witnessed th- establishment of'a new influence In the politics of th^ estate. Without so much as a-deprecatory "By your leav^,"■Jo;n N. Baldwin, product of another state Imported without payment of tariff duty across the Missouri, has been installed as the head of government "under the d'rect^O!: and by the authority of the railroads of Nebraska." This new star In the pol'tlcal firmament is today the most talked about men in the state. There, seems to be a great and pardonab.le-curi oslty regarding the political progenitor of "Our man Mickey," and a feeling of mild amazement at the graceful skill with which he has vaulted into the saddle of railroad politics and assumed the reins. Be it understood that the vault is a figurative one, and ti.at it does less violence to rhetorical license than tne literal vault would do to Mr, Baldwin's 260 pounds on which ad valcrem ciiarges as aforesiad were not prepaid. It is a mktter of general knowledge that Mr. Baldwin inadvert ently took the ublic into his confidence through the columns of the Omaha Bee, wherein he was reported last June, ten"days before the republican state convention, to have saidthat the railroads were not worrying any more about the republican gubernatorial nomination, as they had "agreed on Mickey" as th ir man. It '3 not to be supposed that Mr. Baldwin was talking for publication when he made that state ment. On the contrary, it was at a private little luncheon at tiae Henshaw Cafe, at iihich another prom nent lawyer, Frarcis A. Brogan; a prominent doctor of tl is city. Dr. J. E. Summers^ and E. W. Simeral a legal protege of Edward Rosewater, were present. Owing to the fact that Mr. Baldwin was not on the stump ho told the truth freely, even recklessly, not dreaming that h was building for the future. He was aware that in Iowa and some parts of Nebraska he nPght privately impart 1908. confidences without reserve, and on th* s occas-ion he assumed that the^P survey -iiad heen properly made, but he' neglected .to call for an abstract. Thus it was that on a memorable mom^'ng there appeared in the Bee, under a Lincoln datel'ne and purporting to be a news dispatch from the capital, the famouH Baldwin nterview," It is unnecessary' to state that the important bit of news did not come from Lincoln, -either by telegraph or slow fre-'gbt, but was expeditiously transported from the Henshaw to the Bee bu'lding by Mr. Simeral, and poured with almost indecent haste into ears specially adjusted to receive it. It was not altogether pleasant, but Mr. Baldwin never denied making the statement although it was printed and reprinted durin* the campaign wh'ch follow ed the nomination that was made after the ra'lroads had "agreed on Mickey" as their mian. ~ . ' In view of all the circumstances, it was not strange that Baldwin became a central figure of the campaign. He had more to do witli it than any other one fliidividual in Nebraska. In a large measure he directed the campaign, and to all 'nt'ents and purposes he was the' campaign. He became t^.e new hub of the ra^'Iroad-political wheel, shouldering aside- the old-fraers in directing railroad politics, and himself becoming the whole fron . and center. This is the position he occupies today and it is quite natural ,that keen public interest has been aroused in the man who has so quickly achieved an admitted leadership in Influential circles, and who will undoub':/edly have more to do with shaping legislation by the brutal majority of the republican legislature at Lincoln this winter than any other one individual or influence. Fortunately for Mr. Baldwin, he'vvill bear inspection. His is a most agreeable and interesting personality. Nature cut him out to .mingle with his fellow men. He is a big-whole-souled, jolly fellow, "a finished scholar, an eloquent orator, an able lawyer, a polished gentleman. He is a born diplomat, and he can make more mistakes and have fewer people find it out 4han any man who has ever monkeyed with the political buzz saw. In the many manipulations of railroad politics, John N. Baldwin is pre-em'nent, but not in the way•that his predecessors and confreres have been. He has not depended alone or. the. distribution of railroad passes and free transportation, but has devoted himself to the details of campaign work and evolved system and success out of disorder and disorganization. Baldwin has a genius for organization, and in'the campaign just, closed he planned and directed, somet.lmes in con-function with the managers of the campaign committee, but just, as often* goin.-;: ahead on his own hook. When the republica committee was disheartened and discouraged, Baldwin was seem'ngly most confident. He never lost his nerve, ^ut plwwed along as if he had the normal Iowa majority to rely on Instead of the uncertainty of a close state like Nebraska. He is probably the most potential factor in Nebraska politics today, and if he can succeed in transmitting some of h's infectious gooj3 nature to the operating departments, it will be'but a short time until peopl will go out of their way to get on th^ track hnd be run over by passing trains, John N. i^aldwin is a young man, though old enough to know W better. He was born in Council Bluffs forty-five years ngo. His father was Caleb Baldwin, one of the ablest lawyers in Iowa and a man of national reputatio . The son is a graduate of the law school of the Iowa State university and has always made his home in his 1908. native city. He was married in 1878 to Miss Lilly G. Holcomb of Cedar Rapids. They have two ch'ldren, a daughter who is a graduate of Vassar, and a son, 15 years old, who s attenci^'ng St. Paul's School, Concord, N.'!. Although he has never held public office, Mr. Baldw-'n has always managed to drive politics and h^'s profession as a double team. He is a rampant republican, having always been identified with the Gear faction in Iowa politics, and taken an active part both t'mes when Senator Gear was elected, and incidentally he is almost exclusively a corporation attorney. The firm of Wright and Baldwin are attorneys in Council Bluffs for -he Milwaukee and Burlington railroad companies, and also for all the franchised public utility cor orations, including the gas and electric light company, the water caompany and the street railway company. Twenty-five years ago Mr. Baldwin entered the employ of the Union Pacific as its local attorney at Council Bluffs, and has remained with it continuously ever since. His territory anc jurisdiction gradually expanded, until three years ago he was made general attorney of that road for Nebraka and Iowa, and in conjunction v;ith Judge W.r. Kelly, general solicitor, he has joint supervision of the work of the legal department for th- entire system, covering seven states. As an orator Mr. Baldwin has achived a national reput ti on. He first attracted outside attention through his speech as temporary chairman ^n the Iowa state republican convention 1894. In 1896 he presented the name of Senator Allison at the repi.blican national convention at St. Louis. He was nominate d as an elector-at-large on the Iowa ticket In 1900, and he stumped Iowa and other western states for McKinley in 1896 and 1900." It was my good fortune to have been thrown first with Jwln# John T. Baldwin, his uncle, and after with Judge Caleb Baldwin, his fat.ier, so that tl.e whole family, all the way down, even to the present day, are my close personal friends. There has been no one who has paid me more tributes ana been a better friend than John N. Baldwin. April, 1908. The Cairo, Washington, D.C., April 18th, '08. My Dear General Many years ago jrou made a trip with Gen. Auger and Genl. Rawlins to Salt Lake City, and on your return camped near me on the bank of the North Platte belowcthe point at which the U.P. Ry, afterwards crossed. I was at that time in charge of a party of your engineers. The day before your arrival I had killed a fine buck Elk and the head was in front of my tent. You took a great fancy to it and I promised if your parties did not bring you a good one yoii should have it. Along in Jany. I received a letter from you, then being a Member of Congress in which you said "all my Engineer parties in and not a good one." I very reluctantly fulfilled my promise by sending the head to your home in Council Bluffs. I now write to say that I have a son just of age and if you could transfer it to him he could point to it as a trophy of his father's skill as a nimrod. Very truly. E. M. Coates. Brig. Gen. Rt.

Expect to reach Athens in about four days and get my mail, having ordered it there. Date of last letter from home was March 20th. I shall leave this coast without any regrets. The Arab has no attraction for me, reminds me of our Indians. They are well trained to pluck the tourist and not leave a pin feather. Judea, which includes the southern part of Palestine is a barren looking country, mountainous and rocky and no forest trees and not many fruit trees. Small tracts of land between the stone ledges are cultivated, in some valleys groves of Olive trees, but not enough of them to change aspect of country; The landing at Jaffa is bad and cannot be made in rough weather, from there to Jerusalem 50 miles is Navoon gauge R. R. which runs about 15 miles per hour, for about 20 miles out of Jaffa, across plains Sharon it is nice farming country. I could imagine myself back in Towa. Then you begin winding through the valleys ar gorges between these rocky Mts. which is character of country. Balance of the way to Jerusalem and beyong close aro)nd that city there are gardens and orchards, also around Bethlehem but going East to the Jordan Valley it grows rougher and rore barren. It must have changed, deteriorated, since Christ s time. Jerusalem makes a good appearance from Mt. of Ollive. The new fort outside of the walls is modern and good stbstantial stone buildings, churches. Hospices, etc., bvit the city within the walls especially where the Jews and Arabs live is in very unsanitary condition, beggard everywhere, holding out their hands for bak-shust and yet no city in the world has so many churches, hospices, hospitals and missions but the average Arab dont like to live indoors and be cared for, he prefers the street or road side where he can see what is going on and solicit alms. We were two weeks in and around Jerusalem visiting Bethlehem, Jerico, Jordan Valley and Dead Sea. Then came back to Jaffa and went up the coast to Haifa where there is a thrifty German Colony, but another bad landing, weather making sea rough. Prom there we drove through Galilee, visiting Nazareth and Lake Queberias(?) Here we found a different country from Judea, beautiful valleys of growing grain, wheat and barley, and where land was not under cultivation it\as carpeted with wild flowers, some of them like poppy made it brilliant with flowers in places, no fences or farm houses to mar the beauty of the landscape, the people all live in stone villiages with mud roofs, no floors, no furniture, in fact live about as the Indians did forty years ago. The women do all the hard, that which a fammer in our country would expect a pair mules to do, pack great heavy jugs of water on their heads, bring great bundles of brush long distances for fire wood and do the road repairing. The men also work in the fields and their fields look clean and they have promise of big crons having had about 40 inches rain past winter. We had same dragoman with us in Galilee that Dr. and Mrs. Stewart had who were with Clarks party. This boat is crowded with priests and Pilgrims who journey from different countries to the Holy land at Easter time each year, now returning to their homes by way of Egypt. We are now at Port Said and I hear that England has sent an ultimatum to Russia, she must release her claim to Manchuria and is sending war vessels to far East. It is onl^ occasionall we get any news. I am anxious to get back where I can be more in touch with the world. I am weary of sight seeing and all the dis comforts that'attend it and they are many in the Arab Count±ies. It makes one appreciate the advantages and comforts of his own country to travel in these semi-civilized countries. While I have been favored with good health, I am anxious to get backand_be where I can give ra y personal attention to my affairs, and if the way opens so I can leave Carrie with some one I think I shall return earlier than I planned. We have good weather, only rain storm we have seen was on Lake Cueberias. That is a beautiful sheet of water, 13 m. by 6 m. surrounded by high hillls. Our sea vojrages have also been i^leasant, this boat runs from point to point in night and lays by day 'times to load and unload freight. We lay here at Port Said today and this P. M. go to Alexandria arriving tomorrow morning taking boat same P. M. for Pierus, sea port of Athens. Better address me hereafter care Munroe S- Co., Bankers, Paris, Prance. We can then have mail sent us by them whereever we are. I presume we will be about a week in Greece. Then go to Naples stay few days, then to Rome and Florence. I hope you keep well. Very truly,. .N.

Very respectfully, A.W.WILLS. ..97 COPY. Confederate VeteraA, March, 1908 JOHN A. LOGAN—AN OPEN LETTER. There comes to the Veteran from South Haven, Kans.,,the following clipping yellow with age and hea<ied as above. Mt. Vemon, 111., August 8, I88I, To the Hon.Ben Hill, Atlanta , Ge).. ; n-i My dear Sir; The smoke of battle having cleared away, it is perhaps not in appropriate to notice the acts and conduct of the participants. In the Sen ate of the United States last winter I noticed a discussion between you and the Hon. John A. Logan, from this State, in vhich that Honorable Senator ^took occasion to make a broad denial of the charges long laid at his dior of his disloyalty at the Breaking out of the way. While I do not desire to re open a matter that may be so annoying to the honorable Senator, yet I think it but fair and right that the other side of the "history" should be wtitten. I have known Mr. Logan for many years; often met him in polit ical meetings before and at the beginning of the war. At that time he was a mamber of the House from the Thirteenth District of this State. I was publishing a Democratic paper at this place. I well remember Mr. Logan of that day as the most ultra man in politics then in the State, it being gen erally understood that he was in favor of Southern Illinois seceding and Joining the Confederacy. In I86I, near James a. Fitzgerald's, in this county, he made a speech filled with the most vindictive epithets upon the adinimistration--infact, language seemed to fail him in denovincing the "unholy war" land among the mild (?) sentences he used, I well remember the following, made by Mr. Logan the day referred to: 'May my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth and my right arm wither should I take up aciis against my breth- ern of the South *. m This speech v/as made in the presence of hundreds of men hesid-^P^ es myself who are today living and vvirll hear testimony to the fact* In.McLeanshoro, Hamilton County, 111., on Tuesday, the 2Ist, of May, I86I, Mr. Logan drew his howie knife and threatened in the most abusive,language to cut .down the stars and stripes which was then over the courthouse because he said it was placed there as an insult to him as a member of the Democratic party in Southern Illinois. These remarks v/ers made in the presefiPe of many good citizens, whose names will be produced if required. These treasonable actions and utterances were continued by Mr. Logan until he received a visit from a messenger of Governor Yates, who at the time was a regularly appointed special deputy United States marshal. This officer called upon Mr. Logan at his home, in Jackson county, armed with two weapons only—a. commission to recruit and organize a regiment for the Federal army, the other an orfier duly signed for the arrest of John a/ Logan as a Kebel sympathizer. Mr. Logan was given his choice— the . world knows which^he took. I am prepared to furnish the order of arrest, which is still in existence and at command vdien circumstances require. I have no reason for making the statsinents other tnan a desire to see the- facts go into history as they really existed at the time—before he was presented with the alternative of a commission or an arrest. He was compelled oto leave Centralia, in this State, on a special engine to pre vent a session of Judge Lynch's court, which was convening for the purpose , of trying My.Logan for treasonable utterances. I have withheld the names of individuals in this coniinunication, thinking it better to produce thenm in a future article in case a denial is made, for the honorable gentleman's benefit and that the true facts may go into history. I hand you this throufilj^ the press. For any information you may desire in reference to me-, I refer you to the Hon. R.W.Townsend, member of the House from this Districe, the - • 2" •• Hon. Sam S. Marshall, former member and the Hon. Thomas S. Casey, one of the judges of the Appellate Court of this State. Very respectfully, Edward V. Satterfield. ' I ■ ^ *11 • *. V.'< . * ■ copy. ioi Confederate Veteran, «^anuary, 1908. 9 WORD FROM TEE OTHER SIDE. By Capt. S.F.Horrall, Washington,Ind. Herewith find clipping from local paper here, editorial page. I told Mr. Boyd, the editor who reviewed your magazine, that "I hope to get p.p a cir culation for the Veteran here". Hence these tears . You say in relation to Captain DeRosset'a letter; "It is currently hdlieved that the distinguished John A. L&gan was really organising a command in Southern Illinois to fight #for State rights with the South, etc." This no doubt, grew out of the fact that a brother-in-law of General Logan's and of Shawneetovm, 111., did raise a company "to figiLt",etc. 7/hen General Logan was a mamber of the Illinois State Legislature, this writer was principal of the Benton (111) Academy of learning, and personally well knew him. He was ^^a Democrat of the Stephen A. Douglas school; and vhen the ear broke out, Mr. Douglas, who had been defeated by Mr. Lincoln, but was a United States Sen ator, at once made it plain to Mr. Lincoln that he (Douglas) would stand for a vigorous prosecution of the way by the United States government. His votes as a Senator show this. When the firdt battle of Bull Run w as being fou^t. Gen. John A. Logan placed hinself in the ranks of the Union Army and fou^t all day as a private. This is easily verified.He was than a member of the United States House of Representatives. On returning to Washington City, he tendered his resignation of a seat in Congress, asked a commission to raise a regiment of troops of President Lincoln, got it, raised a regiment, and rose rapidly in rakk to major-general. His speeches, yet of record (newspaper) stand as proofs that in South Illinois, as in South Indiana, there was storng aecess- ^,on sentiiient, and which speeches silenced all talk favorable to secession; and as compared to the middle and north of Illinois by population. Southern Illinois furnished more than its quota for the Union Army, chiefly officered . 102 "by Mr. |iOgan's warm Douglas Democaratic friends. The "War Records" are proof. When at the battle of Fort Donelson, he was severely v^ounded, a delegation of Southern Illinois people asked Logan to resign and be elected Representative to Congress again. His answer was akin to that of Patrick Henry on the Declaration of Ameriaan Independence--viz., that his 'heart was in the cause to preserve the Union. "Live or die, survive or perish, I am for the Declaration." The proof of this will be found in speeches or orations delivered on the United States Senate floor by members of that body of both sides politically. And as to South Indiana, the same means—speeches made by Hon.Charles Denby and James M.Shanklin—turned the tide or undercurrent of secession steadily for the Union cause, and both of these men were field offioers*- Denby, lieutenant colonel, and Shanklin, major of the 42nd Indiana Veteran Voli^teer Infantry. Each was a Democrat politically, and each had a horse ^ killed under him; Denby at Perryville, Ky., and Shanklin at Murfreesboro, Tenn. The latter was captured and conveyed to Libby Prisdn. . * i ... . f .i i 1 ll .V •;l; ■ Vs: j-htr i'". . - 7 ■ ', 1 ..■I " • •; no i.: 1 .ifli'i . .1" ir , I ..j i ' I ■ .' .'.I May, 1908, 1124 Vt.

Mr. Adams write me hopefully all the time. I wish you would give him such encouragement as your information warrants.

As a mattr of fact you are today the greatest citizen of Iowa. These assertions are preliminary to v/hat I want to say. There are some things you ought to have done Some ^ood writer ought to come to Council Bluffs and stay for a year, more or less, preparing a history of the building of the Union Pacific Railroad and he ought to at the sametime be preparing a history of your career as a soldier. This work ought to be in two volumns. One I'dume ou"-ht to be devoocd to the UnionPa ific Railroad and oiie volume to your ° military career.

"""^hs sider the mattlv, meantime, I want you to begin to conGincerely yours, Lafayette Young. Ill May 27, 1908. 71 Broadway, New ^ork. Dear General: -New ^onstruotionYours of the twenty-fifth has Just reached me. I am sorry'to know that you are syill laid up. I am sending copy of your letter to Messrs. Hawley, Yoakum and Winterfeldy, and 1 am sure they also will he sorry to heal? that your trouble does not let go . I am sotry that neither Mr. Mohler nor Mr. Holdrege was at home ndien I called at their offices in Omaha, and am glad that you are expecting to see Mohler. I think perhaps there is one thing you can say to him a little better perhaps than either Mr. Parker or I could, viz.. Doesn't he think the Union Pacific had better protect the Greeley territory say with spurs in an easterly and northeasterly direction; also with t spur in a south westerly direction toward Hillsboro on the Sugar ^oad. The country east and northeast of Greeley is, I believe, very fine territory and is very tempting to outsiders. It is also rather tempting to us as we do a good business in and out of Greeley, hut ^ w4ah to advoid anything which mi^t seem like an invasion of U.P. territory. If they were to build southwest erly toward Hillsboro there would be no excusre for the Sugar Company going into Greeley thereby bringing into the Greeley District a competitor for both the Union Pacific and ourselves by possible connections with the Bur lington. I think we should develop the Fort Collins territory thoroughly and it ought hot to be difficult for the Union Pacific and ourselves to reach an understanding. I left with Mr. Orr when I was in Omaha, a verbal messzge for Mr. Mohler, apd day before yesterday I h ad a little talk with Judge Cornish here, but it is hard to loeate authority on the Union Pacific I may have a brief talk a little later with Mr. Harriman, but I believe the best way to approach it is for each of us, as we have opportunity, to talk first with Mr. Mohler. I think nothing of any moment .could ^ he accom plished hy t'Iking first with Mr. Kruttschnitt ot Mr. Stuhhs in Chicago. ^hey would have to refer the matter to Omaha and later to New York. I can, of course, go out to Chidago at any time to see the Burlington people, hut I helieve we vdll make better progress if Mr. Parker will try first to get a friendly understanding with Mr. Holdrefee and let it work up in an orderly way. Mr. H.D.Thacher, of Puehlo, who is interested in the Sugar Company is here and I am going to try to have a little informal talk with him about outr relations with the Sugar road. Mr. and Mrs. Thatcher aee to dine with us Friday evening. Mr. Morey is the deciding authority in all these matters, hut there is. no reason why we should not talk in a friendly way with Mr. Thatcher about it. I am sending copy of the Jones report on the San Angelo-Ahilene coun try to Messrs. Hawley,Yoakum and Winterfeldt and saying to each of them ^ I will talk with them the first time. I see them. I thou^t best to let them have an opportunity to look it over first. With kindest regards, I am as ever Sincerely yours, Frank Trumbull. ■ li i' General G.M.Dodge. Council Bluffs,Iowa. President. P.S. I enclose copies of circulars concerning R.& P.G. 6^ notes and Bur lington bonds. I thou^t you mi^t like to see them.

My dear General Dodge I received your letter several days ago and have tried to answer it from day to day, but was actually so occupied that I have omitted to write until now. We are likely to adjourn in a few days, having agreed finally today upon a curre ncy measure. I will send you a copy of the agreement so that you will see what has been agreed upon on the siibject of currency. I have kept as close watch as I could of the situation in Iowa, considering the many things I have had to attend to. It seems at this distance to be in good condition, but on next Tuesday it will all be decided. I hope you will still be in Iowa on my return. I think now that I shall leave here on Saturday and probably reach home Sunday night, and shall want very much to see you before you go East, and we must arrange in some way for you to spend a night and a day with me if you can. Very truly yours, W.B. Allison -M May, 1908. At Kansas City, May 28, 1908, My dear General I had a distinct disappointment and a great pleasure Tuesday night. I attended the gathering of old time raitcoaders at Des Hoines, and my disappointment was in finding that you were not well enough to be there. I am sure you would have enjoyed it, as it was an unusual occasion. My great pleasure was in hearing your splendid letter read— and it was well read by one of the officers f the Iowa Club. The letter ought to be re-produced. I hope steps to that end will be taken, and so expressed myself to the Des Hoines officials before leaving there. You put the whole matter so plainly as to not only appeal to the intellect of the brightest men, but alsol stated the case so ps to be comprehended by those who are not given a great surplus of mentality. I hope you are on the high road to recovery, that you will be entirely yourself again in the near future, and that I may have the pleasure of seeing you once more before long. Cen. Grenville M. Dodge, Council Bluffs, la. Yours very cordially, B. L. Winchell 117 June 5, i908. 71 Broadway, Hev/ York'. Bear General; We are glad that Senator Allis.cn won out on Tuesday, hut sorry that you are still condined to your room. I talked with Mr. Yoakum Wednesday ahout Mr. Jones's report on the country hetv/een San Angelo and Abilene. I pointed out to him that the construction of such a line by Mr. Jones v/ould probably open up addit ional territory to our Wichita Valley Lines and to the Frisco throou^ Quanah and Vernon or through Wichita Falls if the Frisco should build from Ardmore to the Missouri Fiver. You know Mr. Yoakum takes more interest in this kind of thing than any of our people here. Eowevrr, all of us, includ ing Mr. Yoakum, I am sure, feel that if anyone builds adiUtional railroads in Texas befrre they get some of their laws straightened out, it will large nullify the good work which has made such favorable progress in that state. President Ripley, of the Santa Fe, lunched with me one day this week and although he is not optimistic about the general outlook, he spoke very fav orably of the reaction in Texas and added something to the effect that he thou^t none of us should build any raad there \mtil Texas has shown its faith by its works. I have not written you at great length about matters; First, because I didn't want to trouble you with too many details when you are in disposed, Second, becuase I kwew you were busy in the Allison campaign, and Third, because I hope that you will soon be so well recovered that we may see you here, at least for a day or two. With kindest regards and best wishes to all, I am as ever Sincerely yours Prank Trumbull. Gen. G.M.Podge, Council Bluffs, Iowa. President. June, 1908. 119 Dubuque, Iowr, e/s/lOGB General Grenville M. Dodge, Council Blviffs, la. My dear Mr. Dodge:- I have your very kind letter of the 4th, and I thank you most heartily for your congratulations. I am receiving reports from all over the state that the Democrats voted quite freely at the primary, and I am inclined to believe that, if the contest had been confined to Republicans and a full vote had been polled, the Senator's majority would have been 30000 or more. However, considering everything, we have reason to feel thankful fiver the outcome. Senator Allison is just as happy as a school boy could possibly be over the result. I don't know how we could have managed the campaign without your valuable asistance. I sincerely regret that you have been confined to your home, and ho pe that this summer weather will enable you to fully recover your health in the immediate future. I am. With cordial personal regards and best wishes. Yours truly, J. T. Adams. 121 June lOtb, 1908. Washington D.C.June lOth 1908 My dear General: I am over in Washington for a few days business, and your letter of the 6th inst. has been forwarded to me. As you request I answer in haste. I am hi^ly complimented,and honored by the invitation to deliv- ( er the oration at the meeting of the Society of the Army of the Tennessee in St. Louis in October; and I should like to do so, particularly as it is your v/ish. I must however ask you to let me decline. It is impossible for me to explain in a letter fully and specifically the reasons, to me serious, that will probably prevent my coming to the meeting this October at all and which make it unadvisable for me to assume to prepare an address. But I may explain briefly that my business affaiCs are in bad shape, and that all my work add engagements are now concentrating on or being adjour ned over until October. I have now so long neglected my business for pub lic or semi public matters that 1 have now come- to the point vdiere I can not make ends meet except by sticking strictly to business for a vdiile or at least allowing nothing to interfere with it as a bisit to St.Louis in October would. I have moreover sent my papers to firepuoof storage for the summer and am so fixecji that I cannbt get at -them to prepare anythiijg of historical Value by October. I hope therefore you will select some one else. Why not my brother Tmm? He speaks better than I, and has more friends and is better known in St. Louis than I. His name and address are Rev. Thos. E. Sherman 3X46 Evanston Ave. Chicago,Ills. I am sorr-y to learn that your gout conditions continue to troub le you, and hope that you will soon be better. With regret and as always with aflectionate respect. Very sincerely yours P.T.Sherman. June Ilth 1908. 123 Apt. 802, Stonleigh Court, Washington, D.C.June Ilth 1908. General G.M.Dodge, Baldwin Block, Council Bluffs, Iowa. lly dear General Dodge:- I am in receipt of your note of June 8th and appreciate everything that you say in reg rd to the stupendmuH effort it v/ill require to carry out Captain Righy's ambition for the Vickshurg National Park. I sent him Mr. Simon's letter and he v/rote hack to me stating that he thought the price quoted hy Mr. Simons v/as very excessive and calling attention to what had been offered by Schrady in regard to the replica of General Grant's statue. This letter I have florv/arded to Mr. Simons and as he expects to come to the United States in August, I supposi the matter had better rest until he comes here, looks the groimd over and makes his own proposition. Whatever is done about the matter, I would guarantee a thousand dollars toward thiS' ata,tue of the General, as I have said before. I came so hear being killed the other night by being throvm from a street car that I be gin th think that my direetie v/ork in every directio n is almost over. I have no doubt you sympathize with me in the feeling that we who are left of those who bore the heat and burden of the day have v/ell .nigh finished our work, but I shall keep on trying as long as I live. You speak truly as to the dispodition to criticise every hero 4f the Civil War. To belittle his service and magnify the importance 0 of the Spanish War "Yetera!)fliJ' wounds one deeply. That old old story to which you allude^ in your letter as th the General having raised a Rebel Regiment at the beginning of the War, came up dn every campaign as Id^ig as he lived. In I88I, he rose to a personal explanation in the Senate and put on record a perfect vindication od himself by filing copies of letters of Senator Lai!ar and a great many others. I have copies of part of the record contain 124 . ing this explanation which I v/'ill send to you as soon as I am able to gu up to the house and.get them. At present I can only walk on crutches, and am therefore, not'equal to going to the boxes v;here they are filed away. I reilly wanjf you to put this matter on file in the record^ of the Army of the Tennesseee. I sent a copy of the Congressional Record containing the General's speech, and a letter replying to an attack which v/as recent ly made fey a Rebel in Tennessee, to vjhich my attention had been called, to Colonel Llathhev/s to have him incorporate them in the records at a meeting of the Department of the Grand Army in the State of Illinois, but he did nojr receive same until after he had left home to attend the encappment and still has the papers in his possession. I shall ask him to put them on file inthe national records of the Grand Army of the Republic v/hen they meet at Toledo this summer. One realizes how hard it is to preseu've the name and | fame of these men who sacrificed so much .to save bhe Union because ignor ance and vindictiveness are plentiful in .the land, but when public men like Secretary Taft are thoughtless enough to strengthen these assaults, it is a very painful thing and proves to me that he was so -absorbed with his own importance, and so egotistical that he felt himself superion even to Gener al Grant. I think Foraker said the truest thing about the man when he gave expression to the thought that i'r.Taft was not without weaknesses himself. One thing you and I know--General Grant would never have allowed any such daring political manipulation and attempts at perverting the will of the people as ITr.Taft has allowe.d. • - Give my regards to your family,and be assured,my des# General,that I am always. Sincerely yours. Mrs. John A.Logan. Since writing the abcve Ifind that I have copies of the correspondence re ferred to and enclose same herewith. y 125 As the President of the Sooiety of the Army of the•Tennessee, I ^ have been honored in being selected to preside over this disting-uished as semblage, and in behalf of that Society, the Grand Army of the Republic and the Congress of the United States, to whom we owe the erection of this artistic and beautiful statue, I welcome you to its unveiling. . The President of the United States and distinguished statesmen will apeak to you of General logan as an eminent citizen, gallant soldier and great statesman. I simply desite to pay my tribute to him as his com rade and friend from the time we met in the civil war until his death, and one who since those days has had the close friendship of his family, and that son, who, following the example of his father, entered the service of his country in the Spanish War, serving faithfully to the benefit of his country and to his own great credit and honor, finally in the line of his ^duty filing in battle in the Phillipines. General'Logan's seri^ice in the civil war was as a part of the Army of the Tennessee. He entered it as the Colonel of a regiment, and filled all the grades until he became its commander, and under his command it and dir ection it was mustered out and disbanded at the end of the war. He took part in all its campaigns and battles, and to us of that army who knew him so well, and saw him so often in camp,on the mardh and in battle, is given the knowledge necessary to appreciate more than others his great services to his country. To us he was the ideal soldier who always led. He was by nature ardent,enthusiastic,vehement in action,-(jualities which command the admiration of the soldier. He was at his best in battle, ever forward,ever onward, his motto was to conquer or die. He infused his spirit into his regiment, his brigade, his division, his corps, and finally into that grand ^Hl^ld Army of the Tennessee. After the war General Logan devoted his time teand energies in the halls of Congress to measures that were for the benefit of his comrades. To him we are indebted for the establishment of the national holiday known as •• 126 Decoration Day, and no soldier evdr appealed to him without receiving a ready response and prompt command of his services. I can speak of this from^l^ my own knowledge. General Logan often said to me,"The demands of my old comrades have been so great that it takes most of my time, but hov/ can I refuse them"; and he never did. On behalf of the Army of the Tennessee, and those who have been instrumental in erecting inthe capital of the nation this tribute to Genv eral Logan, I wish to thank the sculptor, Ffanklin Simmons, for the satis factory, artistic and life-like statue he has given us. If ' a- Vtit ^ '■ ./■ >h' ' June, 1908. 127 Dodge, Iowa, 6/l2/l908, Gen. G. K. Dodge, • , Council Bluffs, Iowa. My Dear General Dodge After the campaign was ovei' I went to the country for a few days of complete rest and recreation, and so your letter of June 5th, has not reached me until today. I thank you for your kind words personal to nie in connection with the campaign. But if I were called upon to name the man most responsible for the Senator's success, I would pick you out of the crowd, and next to you, our friend of Dubuque, when it comes to the political proposition. I wish you would have him to manage Secretary Taft's campaign. Now, I note what you say about the vice presidencj'-. I have no taste, incliniation or ambition in that direction, and I have asked Lafe Young and T'r. Perkins to take the necessary steps at Chicago to side track any movement in ny behalf. My own impression is, that Fairbanks ought to be re-nominated. The office is a thank less one, and nobody could have discharged his duties any better than he has. I thank you for your letter, and authorize you to say anything or do anything that may seem necessary to prevent the vice-presidency movement heading my direction. Mrs. Dolliver joins me in friendly greetings to you. Yours very truly, J. P. Dolliver. 129 Des Moines, lovva, June 12, 1908, My dear General:- I thank you for calling my attention to the Kearney journal. We receive the public tion and I shall make use of that part alluding to Iowa in editorial in the Annals, as soon as the Journal is fully published. The controversy of whether the buffalo ever inhabited Iowa has been settled some time, but the Kearney evidence is the most valuau]e of any descriptive matter of which we know. But since the question arose we have received skulls, horns and other parts of buffalo skeletons from several different counties. Only today we have an offer of a ' large skull exposed by freshets in Boone County, I would like to have an adequate biographical account of George C. Tichener, and of course, a portrait of him for the gallery, who, in your opinion, would be the best person on whom to call for the sketch. Would you not prepare it yourself? I could furnish dates, nerhaps, but beyong these there is not a great deal at hand. As to the portrait, would advise me whether his relatives could supply it, and.if so where If you have, or wil 1 prepare, any historical manuscript or know of any person who should provide any in duty to the future, please give me the benefit of your help, in their accumulation for use in the Annals. Yours sincerely, K. R. Harlan. Hon. G. M. Dodge, Council Bluffs, Iowa, June, 1908. Ko.l Broadway, New York. June 19, 1908. My Dear Mr, Secretary:- I want to congratulate you not on"y on your nomination as I have been certain of that ever since you were a candidate, but upon the sensible and able manner in which the whole campaign has been handled and the results at Chicago. The ticket and platform eould not be stronger and you will see the people coming to its support ignoring party ties. Everyone recognizes it as a fitting regard for your great work thise past years, also as a compliment and endorsement to President Roosevelt's administration of which you have been so prominent a factor. We can all go into the fight now with all our hearts^ knowing we are to win," for the Democratic Press already acknowledges that. I am east now and better and hope ere long to see you. Truly and cordially. Grenville M. Dodge. Hon. W. H. Taft, Becty. of War, 133 New. York ^ity, June 22, 1908. Uy der-r General: I thank you for sending me the enclosed letter from Mr. Harlan. I h 'Ve written him and called his attention to the very fine and complete biographical account of father written ty our ^-ood friend Hon. J. S. Clarkson and published in the Oes Moines Register, Aug. 3, 1902. I have also offered to furnish him any additional data he may desire, etc. as I have all his Tariff recommendations, letters from Dingly, Ilobart Allison and others asking his -nsistance, etc. in the Tariff, proving' to what extent the uingley Tariff was really the Tichenor Tariff. This is all known to Senators Allison , Aldrich ,Dolliver, Spooner, Plstt, and many others but it is a great disappointment that the great service he performed for the Repbulican parts'- the great industries of this country at the greatest personal sacrifice of health, etc. should t r" general public and been more highly appriciated. ii- Senator Spooner intended makin.- fathers services in this regaixi the basis for a tariff speech last year but evidentlv over looked it, or had too much of greater importance to handle. It has occured to me that the Allison i^olliver faction in Iowa might make good use of their own and father's tariff work in the campaign this Protectionists they were opposed to extreme protection and tried to letters to father, also prove that he«ti ajjosed tf^en a protection as given by the HoKlnley B.ll.

My dear General Your most welcome personal letter of the C4th is one of those little notes that mean a great deal to a young fellow. Your words of encouragement are most gratefully appreciated. I do hope that we may have the pleasure of having you here to see our plant and equipment some time. The June magazine has been very popular, and I woixld like to know what you think of my Convention Story to be published in the July issue. The G. A. R. number will be published in August and I am going to use picture of the Grant Memorial for frontispiece. n ^ received a very warm cordial letter from Judge Yalter I omith and am going to run a sketch concerning him in the August issue. I hope I did not annoy you by sending my brother, Bennett, to you on the financial Commission yesterday. May I not hope to come and see you when I am in New York and talk over matters with you on the Lincoln day Memorial? When you go West in the fall, I surely want to go with you and prepare a story with pictures on the story of the Building of the Union Pacific which surely was the overtiire of snlendld modern development in this country.

My Dear General I had expected to make a call on you before this time, and thank you for the kind remembrance that was sent me from j'^our New York office, being several publications covering the life of General Crocker, General Swaine, Recollections of Wm. T. Sherman, James Bridger, and miscellaneous papers relative to the Civil and Spanish war. I was very much pleased to receive these, and have taken the liberty to place them in my library, I also want to tell you that our Reunion of the Old Time Railroaders has been a s grand a success as we could have .expected. The boys all had a good time, and it was certainly beneficial to all. I presume you heard from it through the press, and otherwise, but I was mainly impressed with the thought of the good feeling that existed among the men, and the very creditable manner in which they conducted themselves. To my mind it has done a world of good, and there is a strong influence being brought that we shall hppeat this. I am very much in hopes if we have another meeting this coming year, we will be able to have you with us, as there was a strong demand from the rank and file, the boys that have followed the path that was laid out by others, to hear from the "Oldest of the Old Timers" and get a good many of the early day historical matters straight. Again thanking you for your interest, I am. Most sincerely yours, W. H. Given. " yiVwc/' . --Vr" 139 New Y^rk, June 26, 1908, General Eli Torrancem « New York Life Build"'ng. Minneapolis, Minn, My dear Comrade Yourd of June 8th reached me here. I .have been sick, Tirtiich is th cause for delay in answering same. J • I really do not know what to say in answer to your letter, but it seems to me it would be a good idea for the Grand Army to meet on that lOOth anniversary, say in Washington, as a memorial day, and there organize and start a move ..ent by the Grand Army of the Republic for the erection of a proper memorial to Lincoln in Washington, going, to the United States Government for the proper approrprlation. Unless the Grand Army or some other society, will take this up, like the Society of the Army of the Tennessee has for its Generals, there • never will be-a proper memorial of Lincoln ^n '.Yashn'ngton. They have now and then a movement there of'some"speculative character, such as a bridgej or'some other thing that is local and to be erected especallly for the benefit of the district. What we should do is to erect a memorial in Wash'ngton-that would cost $500,000, This has been delayed too long already. If the Grand Army would take it up and go before Congress with a well devised idea dnd scheme there is no doubt that the appropriation would be made and the Grand Army would get the credit, I do not intend b this that we should go to begging from the Grand Army for donations towards it, but should go to Congress for the appropriation, backed by the effort of every Post of the Grand Army of the Republic in the a,S. and have it erected tinder their auspices, and this will w'n.

Gen. Grenville M. Dodge, New York City, N.Y. Dear 8ir:- Your letter of June 29th duly at hand. The information concerning Col. Barrett was telegraphed to you by "Ir. Smitth at my suggestion. You doubtless have already received a copy of the text of the will. It runs about as follows: that to the Board of Trustees of Norwich University there shall be paid the sum of fl00,000.00 within a year of his death to be used as they see fit. The executor, ''!r. Bacon, has given us to understand that this will be available in the fall, which we hope is correct. As bequests ranging from !|p2500 to ^25,000, has been made to each of some twenty-five of his relatives there is little liklihood of a contest. This will be followed by a circular letter to the members of the Board. (This letter sent yesterday). From your note I do not understand whether Chapman has failed to reply to your letters or not. I shall be glad if jjou will tell me. So nearly as I can make it, our number of certain candidates on June 25th was 47, as against 26 a year ago that date, computed in the same way. If the business goes forward at the same date that it did a year ago, we should have our barracks full, and some to turn away. It may not go that way, as nothing is ever absolutely certain in some matters. So far as I can learn Mr. Flint is exceedingly satisfactory to all concerned. From my standpoint he is doing ex cellently, for he keeps careful record of all his visitations, and make regular and systematic reports of what he is doij.g and what the prospects are, so that information is easily available at all times. I am very sorry to hear that your health is not quite what it should be, but glad that you have found a change of climate helpful. In a letter recer;tly to hand there is a suggestion that John Hayes Hammond mights perhaps be interested in our work, and help us either in endowment or in buildings. Perhaps you know something of this man, or at least know the way to reach him. On my last trip through New York I called on the ROCKEFELLER ENDOWMENT COMMITTEE, using the letter which you gaye me as addressed to Dr. Bhaw. I did not find him in but presented it at the office on Rector Bt. They were inclined to turn the proposition down very allowed that they would be glad to hear all the evidence. This ,100,000 will help mightily with them, for they evidently believe that to them that have shall be given, and to those only will thev p-ive T found that their inclination was to give aid only to those institu tions that make much of the Classical Department.

My dear 8ir: I am in receipt of your favor of June 26th, and appreciate very highly the many kind things you are good enough to say in relation to the case of uodge vs. IVaterhouse. I felt you had a good case from the beginning, and it is satisf"ctory to knov/ that you got what was rightly due you. Should you come to Seattle again, 1 would be very glad to see you. Althojigh I have never met you, I ^ can still claim a. long acquaintance for in 1873-1874 , whena young man, I was under the late William. Milnor i^oberts on the Engineer Corps of the Northern Pacific Railway , and with Mr. Roberts at that time were a number of- the men who had been under you on the Union Pacific R-ilway, then recently completed. Prom them I learned of the high estim tion in which they held General Dodge. You may he interested to learn that Mrs.. Roberts is living in Seattle with Lher son and daughter; and that it was my good fortune, when President of the Board of Regents of the State University, to be instrumental in obtaining for young Milnor Roberts a professorand^aMllty has won an enviable reputation for scholarship Thanking you again for your kind letter, I am. Yours very sincerely, Geo. R. King. 145 New York, July 9, 1908. N. P. Dodge, Jr., Esq., 1614 Parnam St., Oniaha, Neb. Dear Phil:- I am in receipt of yours of July 2nd returning the papers in relation to the Ainscow property, excepting the transfer of the mort gage to me by the Penn Mutual Company, which you say you w^'ll return as soon as recorded. I note what you say about matters in Omaha. Business in the 3ast is picking ug, and with the railroads generally, slowly but pretty surely. It is a question yet what we will have to do to cut our expenses. There is evidently a great change here in the East towards Railroads and the^r rates. Everyone says that the roads should put up their rates, by this T mean business people, or wages will come down, and they prefer the former, but the roads are holding off to see what the crops will bring us. I have no doubt there is a good deal of Bryan sentiment in Nebraska. There is a g-^od deal here but when you ask people who talk about him and like him -f they w*ll vote for him they says "no". They think more of Bryan than they do of his party and principles, T ere is no doubt that the East is drifting all the time towards Taft. The more they see of him the safer and more secure tliey feel. You saw «hen he was in the Viest that he is a good mixer and brings peace and harmony wherever he goes, and no doubt wi11 use his great ability for bringing people together during the campaign. The selection of the Chairman and Treasurer could not be better. The stock market has been go'ng up here right along on the assurance that Bryan will be nominated, and the belief that he will be defeated. I do not see where he is to get any Eastern State if they carry out the program they propose in Denver. Very truly yours, G. M. Dodge. ■W f hrS' > ■ fc i'iJ July, 1908. 147 Council Bluffs, Iowa., July 10, 1908. De'^r Genl:- I enclose letter from Coijsin liiziie giving some account their visit to Colorado.

Changed conditions have made changes in his work so he does rot need this assistance from you any longer as he informed me a day or '.wo ago. The inauguration of mannal labor by Public Schools takes the place of his industrial school and he is now paid a salary by the State as probation officer which enables him to do a splendid work among the children, those who committ petty misdeamenors.

He has in this way turned hundreds into tbrnitg over new leag and seldom has a second complaint. Then his office being in Court House and he being an ordained minister he marries a good many couples and his fees amount to quite a sum.

Dear General Dodee:- It /^ives nie p:rent pleasure to advise you,I suppose you know it already -- that the work on the site of the Monument is showing greet progress, and I believe they are substantially ready now for the laying of the tablet of granite. I thought I would like to call your attention to this one question: How are you going to have the Grant Monument face? The statue of John Marshall faces toward the Washington Monument. It is the hope and belief of those who are back of you In the final establishment of this site that the great avenue will be open from the Gaoitol to the Monument. I have no doubt that such will be the case; and might not the street at the foot of and running around Ganitol Hill well be a dividing line toward which Grant's statue would face the Capitol and Marshall? I suggest these things simply con amore. I am coming to Bedford, Iowa, on the 13th to address a Ghautaqua. ffy theme will be"'Che Evolution of a Leader, or How Grant Game," unless the Chautaqua authorities should ask me to deliver an address upon "American Destiny." In either event of course General Grant figures very extensively. My coming will be saddened by the knowledge of the passing of Allison. I had butalimited acquaintance with him, but he impressed me during that acquaintance very sincerely. The first time I ever met him was when he came to my office in regard to General Tuttle and the claim which Tuttle was prosecuting against the diovernment for a pension It will be interesting some time to tell you the little details of that business.

I had intended to come to Senator Allison's funeral, but temporary illness and extreme heat will prevent, much to my regret Iowa has sustained in the Senator's death its greatest possible loss. Not in hundreds of years will the grace of his life, the charm of his personality and the greatness and usefulness of his career be dimmed in the affections and gratitude and pride of the people of Iowa. JAMES. S. GLARKSON. .vi-; . ' 1 ',,'1 ■ <>' '' m: August, 1908. 167 Port of New York. August 6th, 1908, My dear General:- Mrs. Glarkson and I got the news of the death of Senator Allison as we were at breakfast yesterday morning, and it came to us with much greater shock and force than we had even supposed it would. It was something to-be looked"for any day, and yet one is never ready, no difference how old a loved friend is, when the final end really comes. I know what it means to you, and that was the first thing that occurred to Mrs. Glarkson and me both after we received the news of the death, for we both knew of"the lifelong friendship between you and Senator Allison, how you had been close or closer than brothers for forty years or more, and what a beautiful frlenship it was,- one of the most beautiful I have known in my life. I received a request from the Dubuque Times-Journal for a dispatch on Senator Allison's life and death, and I enclose you a copy of the dispatch I sent. Joe Morgan, who was so long the Senator's private secretary, is now the editor and owner of this paper. I also sent him a private dispatch, a copy of which I enclose. In my dispatch to the Times-Journal, I especially referred to the grief brought to the members of the Iowa Society by the Senator's death, as you will see. Coker has thought that we should call a meeting of the Iowa Society or the Board of Governors or Trustees, and prepare a statement or a brief set of resolutions and telegraph it tomorrow afternoon or Saturday, morning. I see the funeral is to be at 4 o'clock Saturday afternoon and that Vice-President Fairbanks and fifteen or twenty Senators are to be present. I deem it better we should have some thing in the papers then and before the Senator's funeral as an ex pression of the sorrow of our Iowa Society than tl let it go until next week or later. Coker and Hazard are to arrange for a^meeting of the Trustees at my office at 10:30 tomorrow. I am going out on the tug in my official duty to-day, and will prepare something to present tomorrow. If you can be here we will all be very glad. If not, whey we would like your suggestions and directions and will do precisely as you wish. (Just here I received your call by telephone). The death of this strong and splendid man, whom you knew perhaps more intimately and more closely than any one else, and whom I knew very intimately also, admonishes you and me, of how rapidly the friends we started out with in life are vanishing,- which is part of human life,- and as our time comes we much go the way with phil osophy and happiness as our great friend Senator Allison has so conspicuously done. To me his life was beautiful and noble in all human respects. Iowa j.ever knew until he was dead his value to the State and its people, and as the years shall increase the estimate of him and his greatness, the service he has rendered, the affection for him and the ndnlration will only increase and grow stronger and more permanent. I am glad to hear you are much better, and I hope you will take care of yourself during this hot weather, because as we grow older extreme heat becomes more and more dangerous. I had a very ill spell about the time you were ill at Council Bluffs, which affected my heart and gave me the closest call I have ever had. I am vettlnfr out of it now and feel much better. 168 I will send you, after our meeting tomorrow, whatever we decide to send to Dubuque. We will send it, of course, in yovir name as President. We will try and make it what you would most like to have it. Sincerely yours. General G. M. Dodge, Patchogue, Long Island, N.Y. James S. Clarkson. 2 enclosures.

Clarkson, New York. i My dear General Clarkson: Iowa's most eminent citizen, a most distinguished figure in national life, an able statesman, a genuine man left us v/hen William hoyd Allison's earthly life ceased its tireless activi ties. lilvery loyal lowan, every true American citizen, every per sonal friend will deeply mourn his loss. Senator Allison was the personification of the Pauline prin ciple, "this one thing I do" Without any reservation whatsoever he devoted his great energies to the interests of his state and country Prom first to last he was the consistent champion of the American protective system under whose fostering care orr great American industi?les have been built up and great fortunes accumu lated. Almost the entire nation, and especially the maufacturer and the laborer, whether skilled or unskilled, in those factories, are under obligations to Iowa's "Grand Old Man", as he was aff ectionate] y called. Moreover, as chairman of the Senate's Commit tee on Appropriations, by far the most important committee in Con gress, he rendered inestimable services in safe-guarding public expenditures; his sense of trusteeship and official responsibility was great. Again, in all his long pu blic career no whisper of unriaht- vb - ness was ever heard against him. Ohter men er.Lered congress ooor and retired rich; er tered with a bright name and left wi:.h a tarnished reputation. Not thus was it in the case of Senator Allison. The many years of his public service left but a modest residuiam ofpersonal property; his peerless personality shone brighter each oassing year. He has left behind him something vastly more valuable and precious than any colossal fortuen he might have heaped up or brilliant reputation he might temporarilly have achieved, the embodipatriotism exhibited, p ssibly, less'in thrb^ight publicity than in the sane, calm guidance citizen in every statio! in of n-p I'fTo a genuine f character mai: and cf true a tj^pic-^1 friend ever American depen worthy able. of imitation bv by a a^l*1, It oueht°t°''be heM up'^beforo tL''® valuable; and rl.tlne m?def.

The Iowa Society of New York held a meeting to-day, under the call of its President, General G. M. Dodge, to take action in regard to the death of Senator Allison, as General Dodge was,-adide from his kinsmen and the people of his own home, probably the nearest, most intimate and trusted friend of the Senator for over forty years, and as almost every member of the Society was his acquaintance and friend, this action was deemed peculiarly fitting and appropriate. The affection and pride in which this Society has always held the Senator was shown by its action, three years ago, in electing.him as its one and only honorary member. After full expression by all the members, which comprised all who could be reached on short notice, the following tribute to the Senator and his life and work and expression of sorrow over his death was offered by Mr. Clarkson and unanimously adopted and ordered sent by telegraph to the papers of Dubuque. A wreath was also ordered to be sent from Chicago to the funeral, in the name of the Society. The paper follows: The Iowa Society of New York, made up in membership of over three hundred former residents of Iowa, representing nearly every country in the State, has learned of the death of Senator Allison with much of personal grief to each member and with that sense of general sorrow which never befalls any people or any community except from unusual and irreparable loss. His long life in the service of the State, his Nation and his fellow men, his great works and the many achievements of his public life had covered so many years that his name had become synonymous in power and apparently in permanence with that of his State, and finally of the.Nation, until it had seemed to become the actual entity of an established and enduring institution. So long continued and so powerful and beneficial was his oeriod of useful and influential sway in all the larger public affairs covering the long stretch of momentous American history for nearly fifty years, or from liincoln to Roosevelt, that nearly all of us among the Iowa people, and later the people of every state, had come to look upon him and turn to hirn in every time of public or private, stress as the one sure and main source of guidance, protection and deliverance. As the State and peonle of Iowa in their earlier years found largely through his leadership the open course to unsurnassed eminence in the ran^ks of the greater and older commonwealths of" the Republic, so did the Nation later, in its long years of severe trials and tests fluring the struggles over the successful establishment of the American policv of Protection, during the efforts over the years of more than a reneration to establish sound business financial systems for the Government and later, for the proper control and regulation of corporation power' phases, find in him the wiser counselor and the sufficient guide to the final ways of wisdom and safety and to such i?hl3tory''h°s''knoiL''^ Thus we as former citizens of Iowa,'still loving the State as always a State to be loved, and still proud of its great and unique personality as one of the greater forces in present-day government and civilization, desire to join the Iowa people in the mrief which thpv feel in this greatest loss that could kave come to tHe State. We feel 174 that we are entitled to share in the pride of all Iowa people will ever eherish as one of the State's greater treasures and its greatest title to the respect of mankind, in having given to the public service of his country this man who was among the dozen mort useful men in his century, and who by his modest and yet great and sufficient merits fairly won the triple distinction of being the first citizen of his U State, the accepted counselor of his Party and of the business ^ interests of his country for his period and for more than a generation, and the most useful and. therefore, the greatest national senator of his time.. The span of his useful work was the span of his long life. A member of the convention that saved the Republic from destruction by discovering, nominating and electing Abrahaim Lincoln to. the Presidency he himself entered the lower house of Congress during the war and received the anointment and inspiration of Lincoln's friendship, and learned much of the remarkable wisdom and patience that always marked his after career at the feet of this greatest of Americans. He also quickly won the confidence of his Party and the greater leaders in Congress, such as Thaddeus Stevens in the House and Senators Merrill and Sumner in the Senate, and there began on the ways and Means Cofflmi.ttee of the lower body of Congress that wonderful and unequalled career of influence until, on his accession to the Senate, he became the accepted counselor of Congress on all such questions, and as much accepted as such.counselor by the opposition party as by his own. Nature gave to him not only the superior wisdom for counsel in these greater affairs of the Nation, but the superior ability also to lead not only his own party into the ways of wisdom and patriotism, but also often to bring peace, for the sake of the Nation and it^ vital interests in times of peril and storm, between the angry and differing political parties in Congress, and between the equally angry and divided people ^ in the different great sections of the country. He had not the ■ brilliant oratory of some of the Repi-jblic's other greater ^^enatora, but he had instead that better oratory, or that better and greater gift than oratory, that gave him the unfailing power to persuade and convince and unify the wavering majority of Congress and the wavering opinions of Presidents and their Cabinets. For nearly or quite a generation of,time the Penate and the Nation also looked to him for the final solution of the most vexed and dangerous problems in public affairs, and in this popular faith and dependence he never once failed or disappointed them. As he grew in stature and in power, temptations came to him in the form of proffered positions and honors almost universally supposed to be greater than the honors and the powers of senatorship. He proved himself possessed of such love and devotion for his State and the people of his own home as no other public man in American has shown, declining them all. He could have been the Secretary of the Treasury of three Presidents and the Secretary of State of a fourth He steadfastly kept his faith with his people as^their Senator, and* brought further honor on them and on himself by striving to show and flnany by proving that to a United States .Senator -ho Is Lm'lentlv great a senatorship has in its greater power and greater usefulness that is even in the possibilities of a Cabinet minister. He could if he SoS had President used his own if he power had in had the the Nation real ambition and his own to great be President abilitvand to accomplish it. But he never had the real ambition for ?he higher place,^and never enen really encouraged his State or his friends in M every . tate to secure to him this highest of honors which can be V given among men. ^ radical, that he seldom orirrinated great measures of his own. It is to be said in reply, that while always conservative and while he was for years the accepted counselor 175 (paper on Senator Allison)cont. 1908. and main reliance of all the great business interests and all the conservative elements of the country, he was yet always progressive and always found supporting all the really progressive measures. Again, while never ambitious in originating radical measures himself, it is still to be said that for nearly fifty years every act created by Congress passed under the hands of his revision, and also that there is scarcely one of the greater statutes passed in his time which does not bear the mark of his hand in toning down its radical or doubtful features and in strengthening it in its weaker places. So early and widespread had become the confidence of all the larger elements of our national life and business in him that early in his career in the Senate he became practically a Senator for every State as well as for Iowa; and for years no State or great city or great commercial body or important interest of any kind sent a delegation to Washington for hearing before Congress without instructing it to seek the aid and counsel of Allison. Indeed, it may still be said of him that he wrought his great work for nearly fifty years so wisely and so faithfully that he dies permier in nearly all the titles of party and public power and influence. This was the Allison that we of Iowa knew and loved, that Allison that Iowa and its people will love more and more as the years and the centuries shallpass, and the Allison that the Nation, as time shall test the greatness of his service, will also come to know and to love equally with the people of his own Ctate. Springing from the ranks of those who lincoln loved to call the common people, rising until no one in the Nation outmeasure him in ability to do or influence to control in all the country's more important affairs, he never was else than the people's faithful and sufficient representative. Probably none of our public men as a Nation, and certainly rone for so long a time as he, served as many individuals and special elements in their needs and their ambitions as this '-an of such peculiar patience and power gladly and yet so quietly served. In another way, peculiar to him, he was unique in the modest and yet never ceasing way in which he made himself the constant friend and defender of the larger groups of different elements among the people of the Republic, such as the Union soldiers, the adopted citizens of all nationalities, the patient and suffering Negroes now the most pathetic and yet the most deserving of consideration and help of all the elements in our American citizenship, the Indians and their cry and need of help between the years 1860 and 1900, and mapy other large elements, religious and otherwise. Among the other great profifs of his statesmanship and hishuman fidelity to all the nobler ideals of life was the proof that he gave each recurring year for nearly fifty years in the public service th-t partisanship never in fluenced him against the realities of the public good, that flattery never affected or influenced him, and temptation never gained even his consideration. In history it will be almost the larger grace and glory of his long public career that with such alluring opportunities to amass wealth that no other American has had with accepting of them, and his constant opportunities to become weAlthy or among the first of all business men in America or elsewhere, he profited by none of the, remained in the service of the people of his '^tate and his country, and without riches lived and died in the higher walks of life such a contented and happy life as to be an example to all Americans to come. August, 1908. 177 Port of New York. August 7th, 1908, My dear General We had a meeting ofi our Iowa Society to-day, with Colonel Swords, Colonel Peavey, Mr. Stedham, Mr. Huntington, Samuel Strauss, and Mr. Hazard present. There was general regret that you could not be present, and every member desired me in writing to you to express his warmest personal compliments to you. There was an hour's talk such as Iowa men alone could have over the life and death of Senator Allison, in all of which you prominently figured as his main friend, and in all of which there was as much of loving tribute expressed to you as to the Senator. It would have done your heart good to have been present, although it would probably have been a pretty severe experience to you, as it was to all of us. I enclose you a copy of the telegram and tribute adopted,, as sent to the Dubuque Times-Journal. We also gave the order for a wreath, to be purchased at Chicago, and made up of myrtle and palms if they can be had, and sent to the funeral as from the Iowa Society. Hoping to see you soon, I am. General G. M. Dodge, Patchogue, L. I. Sincerely yours, J. S. Clarkson, August 8th, 1908, 179 Port of New York, August 8th, 1908. My dear General I have your letter this morning, and it simply confirms what Mrs. Clarkson and I felt,- that the death of this belAved and remarkable friend of a life time was a hard thing to come to you. In only a less way than yours I felt the blow also. Allison had come to be so much a source of power and had lasted so many years and had become a source to which we all turned when in need, sorcompletely and so generall;^, that we had almost forgotten that he was but human and that- his life must sooner or later, and pretty soon at the best, come to an end. But we are never ready to give up the people we love, however old they become or however ill they may be. I sent you yesterday a report of what we did yesterday and a copy of- the expression of tribute and sorrow which we telegraphed to Dubuque papers. I think Sammy Strauss also had it sent as a special dispatch to the Des r^oines Register and Leader. If the Register and Leader had any heart of any memory of the day when people had hearts, it would not have waited to have this kind of thing offered to it; it would have asked men like you and me, who had been so long near Allison and who had been with him in all his contests, to have said something to the people of the State of Allison's life and death. The trouble now in holding the State away from Cumkiins and the near republicans is the weakness of the newspaper situation at Des Moines. Cummins has control of the old paper, and Young and his paper do not have much sway in the State as Young's own political c^'reer is too well known to the people at large and his loyalty too much questioned. He has not the continuing courage to help hold permanent power in the State. I hardly know what our people are going to do. Indeed, I think sometimes that it would be better for the sake of the party in the State and the Party in the Nation to make some compromise with Cummins. He has shown great ability, he has won his gights, and he is there tostay. You cannot turn down a roan who has made good and who has such attremehdoue follow'ng as he has in our old State. I am not among those who see nothing in Cummins to admire, and I do not see how you and I or any men outside (although you are still a resident of Iowa yourself and have more liberty than I have) can now interfere in this contest. We had the undying right to stand by Allison, and for that reason I was willing to go to the extent of my power in his behalf, for I felt that it was not only due to him after his great and illustrious career, but also due to the State. I have felt like writing Dolliver, and yet I do not know what I should write him. He is in a very critical situa tion. He did what not one man in a million will ever do; he put aside the chance to make a combination with Cummins and stay in the Senate for life, and followed friendship by going to the defense of Allison, nearly eighty years old, who at the best could have been of no further active benefit to Dolliver. If he had failed to carry the primaries he would have gone down with Allison. It was an examnle of heroic friendship and possible self-sacrifice such as I have'seen no other man make. So it is on my conscience what I should say to him, for I have a feeling of affection for him nearly as warm as I have for my own sons for, as you know, I helped put him in politics, and he has alwavs kept very close to me and has always remembered the early kindnesses"I was able to show to him. So I feel that he and his future are much concerned in what shall be done now that I am not yet able to decide what to advise him to do, and I dare not give him wrong advice. 18^ •-';3 I fear now that the Antl-Cummins people will vote against the Cummins candidates for the Legislature and throw the senatorship to the" democrats. Two Iowa men were in my office yesterday who have been loyal republicans, to my knowledge, all their lives, and | they both said they would not vote for any member of the Legislature who would suaport Cummins for the Senate. One man said he had fourteen votes in his family,- sons and sons-in-law and grandsons,- and every one would vote against any man who would vote for Cummins. It is enough to make us all think intensely when we come to see Iowa on the brink of becoming a democratic State. I agree with you that if a fight is to be made against Cummins, all the anti- Cummins people must center on a single candidate; and I also agree with you that 'Valter I Smith is the best man. Lacy is too old and his reputation is too much confined to the 6th District. George Perkind appeals to you and me verj*^ strongly, but he too, is among the old people and would not draw anything from the young men, the men of today, who want to support men who will last through their time in politics. I see Hull is talking about being a candidate. He, too, is too old to set up as the new man and the successor of Allison. It must be a younger man, and lir. Smith comes nearer that and also has as much or more qualification than any of the others in ability, and therefore I think he is the better man. What his standing is throughout the State, how much he has the affection of the Partj'- and the confidence of the business interests and the respect of the farmers, etc., I do rot know. I would be glad to see you and talk to you about this ma'tter generally. I enclose, herewith, a letter from President Ellis of Taber College, who, as you know, is a member of our Iowa Socity and a great friend and admirer of yours. I have replied to him that I would show you this letter and let him know Ipter what you thought of it. I think this would be a good thing to do to aid in perpetuating the name of Allison, yet I would not be free to say in what institution it should be done. For my part, personally I admire Taber College more than any other in Iowa, but is is a small institution and in a corner of the State and off of the main road. Whether it would be fitting to establish the Allison memorial in that is a matter to be discussed. I should be glad to confer with you about this when we meet next week, as I understand you are coming lo the city then. Sincerely yours. J. S. Clarkson General G. M. Dodge, Patchogue, L. I., N. Y. Aug. 1908. 181 Denver, Aug. 10, A.D. 1908. Gen. G. M. Dodge, New York. Dear General;- I have just read your very interesting address before the Loyal Legion here in April last, which I had not the happiness to hear. The address is almost as valuable as the valuable service which it records, and it makes me think of an expression of Myron Reed in some funeral sermon, at the burial of an old soldier. "Every survivor of the Civil War," he said " is a historian." What a splendid epigram was that dispatfch' of Graighton to Gen. Grant, where the latter Inquired for your whereabouts 1 I want to congratulate you on this efficient service and your happy manner of telling it. It reads like a chapter out of Caesari Commentaries. Truly Your friend. E. T. Wells. ■,i, 'f t.-''" , . I- , '• -.viy .V" . * r"' l' ' /IT ' ■ ■f wv " ■MW 185 Dubuque, Iowa, August 13, 1908. Gen. Grenville M. Dodge, New York, N.Y. My dear General Although I was certain that you would be promptly wired the d-^y our mutual fhiend Senator AiHson died, I sent a telegram to your Council Bluffs address, thinking you were home, and ascertained afterwai'ds that you we e in New York. Also was planning to mail to you the several papers containing an account of the death, funeral, etc., but did not do so as Mr. Lee McNeeley told me he was attending to you in that line. We cannot realize that Senator Allison has gone and his standing was so high; his ability so great; his record so broad and complete, and he so highly esteemed by you that it would be useless for me to attempt to say anything about him. Probably you have the "Century War Book" complete, and if so, presume you will be glad to keep the copy anyway that I send you, being #17 mailed to you Lhis d-^y, which has in it to me a splendid account of yourself and troops on July 22nd. at Atlan ta. 1 had the impression always in som;S manner that --^ou were ridinr along at the head of your troops when they attcacked camp, but find am mistaken according to the account of Major Chamberlain. Tlie ar ticle speaks of you so splendidly in every way that I am deeply inter ested and trust the copy will reach you all right. , The battle picture you sent me is being framed and will be in our Post Rooms in a few dnys. iramea and regards. Trusting you are well, remain, with many kind Yours truly, Peter Kiene. Uf'. 187 Dubuque, Iowa, August 15, 1908. Gen. G. M, . J^odge, . , " , Ho. l'Broadway, New York. . Dear General Dodge: ^ I have your letter of August 12th. I seit, you each day the Dubuque newspapers with account of Mr. Allison's death, the funeral arrangements, and the funeral, which I presume you received, and I have also sent you the Times-Journal of Tuesday last with copy of Mr. Allison's will. You will note that there is no reference in the will to the Washington house, about which you inquire. You will also see that Judge-Benjamin w, L cy is made *executor, I think this is all the information you ask for except as to Mr. Allison's condition for some time before his" death. He seemed to get .along very well for a while before he left Washington, the latter part of May. I think he was just about the same as he was the last time you were in Washington,' not very strong , but still able to be about and go to the Capitol and attend to work more or less. He worked rather actively in the last days of Congress, attending meetings of the Committee and of the conference committee.on the sundry civil bill. He made arrangements to leave Washington on May 30th at noon. At that time Senator La l-ollette s filibuster was still "oing on, but Mr. thought there would be an abrupt wind-up And that he leave. The next morning (Sunday) just before we ?«+ Saturday night, and he learned he was very that much Congress pleased had that adjourned it had late ended / so Jno.

I left left for for ri/ Chi ago . to ® attend ^together the National pleasedConvention 188 ■ '■ on Friday June 12 h, leaving him very much improved over what he was when he left '^^ashington. About that time we had a season of hot weather. whether this had anything to do with his condition i do not know, but at any rate, 1 retu rned to Dubuque on June 19th and >7 him next morning, Saturday. He was then not at all as well as when I left. He seemed to have lost stringth. He was listless and apparantly fatigued. -He spoke rather as if-he had missed me while I was at Chicago, bocause he had not kept up his correspondence and there was much of it piled up for me to attend to. Hor did he seem to want to know the details of the convention, being content v/ith wliat he had read in the newspapers while I was away. He indicated that, he was not. going to put too much time and energy on the work, but would take a rest for a while. I went to his house as usual on-Sunday morning, and we looked over the mail he handing it to me then to attend to. He also told me ' then that -e had expected to go to Chi ago that day, bnt had postponed It until tbe next day. He was goirg over to see Dr. -Elliott, s i urd erstand it, he was to go over to have an examination made, tWed^jv tried by D?'r. Jilliott. Just r what that was I have not learned; experiment At any rate, Monaay, the day he left for Chicago, was about as hot and oppressive a day as we have had this year. He left on the noon train and traveled all afLernoon, reaching the Annex about supper "rayton a companied him. l have since < at thei Annex, ''tha?"?"® that he was friend very who much naw fetigued him just by after th Journey. his arrival He had the examination on Tuesday, and instead of returning to ' on Wednesday as he expected, he did not come until the following Saturday, June 27th. My understanding is that his trip to Chicago, and his treatment there were so fatiguing that he was In bed most of_ the time he was over tliere. I saw him at the trainthe night he returned and he walked as if he were not at all strong. After three or four days he seemed to pick up strength, an: on the Fourth of July he and r worke^in his library most of the forenoon. He dictated two or tl.'ee llttera and made out some checks to pay Washington bills, for which 1 was to write the letters. Soon after the Fourth, he went to Mrs. Stout's country home and remained there until the evening of Jul? 30th He did not gain during his stay in the country, "i went tosee him every three or four days to get the mall Ld conlSlt ' al^ut matters of iraportcnoe, but thei'e was littlo hp' wno v. t v, ^ with aid he did practlcally'no work whilrtiere-^cSly ?o keen® a general nui of the corres londence.

He wert to Brayton so and was never up after that V o .J? returned, his condition was after he cnmr hn t tell you just what he died. 1 went tf Ihe tausranS -ot®the mau" h®f7 idea that he was so weak, or else I would hai^lnsL^lrSnlLj^J.hlm. 189 I knew tbot he had a bad nicht, Monday the 3d of August, by Mrs. Bray ton did not say th.-^t it was dangerous, so I did not remain at the house after I got the mail about ten o'clock Tureday morning. The next I knew was when Mr. Adams telephone me shortl:^- after the death. My -understanding is that shortly after 9 o clock Monday night ??r'. Allison had some choking in this throat and was distrubed all night, being unable to raise the phlegm, or whatever it was. This was an indication.that the heart was weak and there was a disposition of the lungs to choke up. The called the Doctor (Dr. Hancock) about 4' o'clock Tuesday morning, and he relieved^him to some extent, and called about 9 o'clock that morning, also about 11, and was with .him for about an hour before he died. He had a sinking spell about noon and gradually grew weaker ur.til he died at 1.33 F.M, Dr. H ncock, Mrs. "^rayton, Mr. McDonald and the nurse were with him when he died. Mr. McDonald thinks he was . conscious prac icallynll of the tim. The nurse told me she thought he was unconscious for an hour before he died. He seems to have been without pain and to have died peacefully, according to the stories of those present. My only theory is that Mr. Allison was weaker than we thought he was, and because of his disposition not to comniain andto say little about himself; we did not know his exact condition. Dr. HancocJi told me the Sunday before he died that he thought that with a good long rest he would improve, but that it would take lots of timt . He raid that he had not had the rest after his January sickness that he should have had and he wanted him to remain in bed for some tim- and have a comiplete rest fromwork and worry. I r; ther thahk that for some weeks before his death he was losing strength and we did not know it—at least ever since- his trip to Chicago, Of course his death was unexpected to me and was a, great shock. I was not at all prepared for it. i had seen him pull through that very severe sickness in January and felt sure that vitality to get through this summer and hat with the cooler weather, and a complete rest, he would be restored ^ that his demi: e would be a matter for the indefinite future. v,^ ^ it is I a was great plunged sorrow into to work you immediately andthat you will on account of the funeral arrangements, but now I begin to realise that seem rlcht for « not to be roinfun ?o his hoUoC every morning tO£pover the mail with hiin mvio ^ ^ i E :£s';„r £ ; - :s'„, addition to those who were thk-e pai SkeJe®''' ""t scene at the cemeteVwas verv sweJf' the The^e were not .any/becauce Ihlrr.k I ?eSSst"th:r?lSwe?s^'''"^* b( omitted, but I disregarded that so far as your request was concerned, and there were several other who did, s^that thera were 0 number of set pi ces.

Very sincerely. Lee McNeoly, P.S. Mr Allison never spoke to me about his death, and so far as I far as I can judge fromanything he said to me, he did not A realize that the end-was near. As I look back i can see that he f realized that he was not strong. Mr. Mdrgan says that from a remark made to him about a week before he went to the coiintry he thinks that Mr. Allison felt that he would not live long, that he did not have much strength and could not keep up the struggle long. But he never spoke to me in that vein. He simply used to say, when I asked him how he was that he did not feel very well, and he was not very enthusiastic about his condition. L.J . McN. .

It makes me very happy, and I more than appreciate the honor, as it assures ihh that you have not forgotten me. I (and my family) very carefully read your address or speech, which you made at Council Bluffs, on the occasion of the dedication of the Carnegie Library, and enjoyed it very much.

Dear Gen. uodge: I have a note from Clarkson saying that you are re turning to Gouncil iJluffs, to make your home and that you do not feel that youcan continue as our president. I am sure every m>.mber of the society will learn of this with great regret, it was an inspiring thing for the beginning of the society that we could have at its head one of the great war figures and indeed the last of them. I think we might make you, if you's let us, kind of honorary president or president emeritus, for life, for ■even if j'^ou go bcac^' to your old home we s" ouldn't want to lose you altogether. It was on my mind last spring to write you a little birtjiday letter, when i was out in California, my father brought up one day a magazine containing suchan interesting sketch of your work, we all read it with the deepest interest and I couldn't helpthinking then what a rich, crowded and splendid life it has been, and how worth while and en iable is such: a career, and 1 wanted to tell you about it then, but I was very much under the weather and finally came back to New York to go into a hospital for brief reoairs, and I somehow never got ot it , Its ray way. I saw Mr. Truinbull by chance here on day a week or so ago and he told me that you were feeling veir^' much better, I am so glad to know it. i?'or he told me that in the spring you were not very well. I have to thank you very much for his acquaintance, what a fin: solid type he is I I like to yoSr^lini^^note^^^ extremely kind to me, thanks olorado oouthern c Ju was telling all my friends that I thourht the cheapest thing on the list, and I bought some for my people and also for myself, and have done handsomely with it, ' Wy father will be on from California the last of the month and I know he w ould enjoy so much even the briefest meeting with you. He was in the 13th Illinois and I believe cksburg--ne i ^ was Missouri Campaig.i and later at ta^en prisoner there , in that long fight. With warmest regards and all good wishes, believe me.

My dear General i:our emphatic endorsement of Judge Taft's high qualifications for the office of President of the United States in a letter to me several months ago, and what I have read of the man since has elicited such a deep interest in the Presidential struggU^ that I feel it my duty to throw myself body nd soul into the fight in some manner all through the month of October to help secure Judge Taft's election. I live in a county which the immortal Lincoln in a joking way asked in looking over the returns what State that was which gave him 10,000 majority. I would like to have Allegheny County give Judge Taft a similar surprise or what would be better go into some doubtful diestrict and work in a quiet way against that old fossil of a Democratic Party who in their malignity .-nd falsehood in the dark day of the Rebellion called us soldiers of the Union "Lincoln Hirelings" and done e -erything they could to bring discredit on the Government. And, now after a generation and nearly a half has passedthat old fossiliferous stum;ling block to the Nation's prosperity and quietude comes up again in its blindness and bigotry offering its dead and exploded arguments against a man like Taft who represents so fullv and perfectly our American form of Governqieent tried and purified in that dreadful furnace of afflict on from 1861 to '5. 1 + 0 ^ Democratic narty and iol, beloved Cour.try.

My dear General Dodge I have read with a great deal of interest your pamphlet on The Indian Campaign of the winter of 1864-'65 which you kindly sent me in care of the Missouri Historical Society at St. Louis, and I am now sending it on to the Society to he placed with the other pamphlets you sent me early in the summer. The Civil War period was so taken up with the struggle between North and South that few realize the Government had any other troubles on its hands during that time. Your article was a revelation to me. I regret very much that I am obliged by ill health to be away from St. Louis during your approaching visit in'connection with the Army of the Tennessee. I had promised myself the pleasure of meeting you and taking you to see the interesting things at the Historical Societj'. I hope you will send word to Judge w. B. Douglass, in the Laclide Bldg (4th and Olive Sts). as to how he may find you. He is the most active official of our Society with a large knowledge of early western and pioneer history, and will take great delight in showing you our collection, if you should have time to visit it. With best wishes and esteem, I am Very truly yours, V. M. Porter. 213 Sans Sanci, waikiki, Honolulu. Sept. 19, 1908. My dear General I don't know whether or not you ever received t'e little pamphlet which I send you under separate cover. I found it amopg some old papers the other day, and it was sent me by Lou bowman ( my old 1st Lieut) of Bellville, Illinois. The account was written by Jimmey Gates, who was 1st Serg. of Company K. at the time of the fight . The facts as to losses are correct, and from official sources Col. Pox in his volume gives the regiment as having lost more men in the battle of Shiloh than any other infantry regiment in any one battle during the Cavil War. I think this is incontestibly ture, though several regiments had larger percentage of loss in killed and wounded. was as familiar Tn? iJ^.that in its field topographical three or four features years as ago though and only the place a raight have .elapsed so completely was the terrain phot. - gr^phed on my memory. I was Captain of Co. E. , the color comnanv a and was wooded just before we began to retreat. However, I did ' leave the regiment, except to have the wound dressed which was done after dark, and was with them all next day. Regarding the controversy about the "hornets nest" it ia clear to my mind that the rebels named the ravine where we fought and is Gen Albert Sidney Johnson was morlSlirwoSd Another hot place was named by llta of™u? least oin tharfiefd that field. I,.y r"® own impression is "P there hornets's were a nests, dozen.at Will do"o'harf:ndiryi"i ve'n " ihfVi' the 9th still living, there ar? if a so half-di^i I do not know Tr ^^0^10^^^ who tierare!

Dear Old General Thanks for the phamplets about the old school where you acquired the rudiments of the military profession. Your picture in the Army and Navy Journal I shall frame and hang up in my Cobblers shop, which is also my home, along with Lincoln, iffrant and Roosevelt. But don't entertain the idea from the list of my wall pictures, that I am for the G.O)P. candidate for President this time. The political firm of Teddy and Taft is not to my liking. I hung up Roosevelt at a time when he was making good, according to my idea, but now I think I see that much of his reform work is of the character of that done, to get popular favor, bv the Napoleans, first and third, immediately before the overthrow of republican governments in France. My conception of his constant talk about good and bad trusts is that none of these so called predatory associations of capital are particularly bad if they put up coin liberally in elections in which he is concerned. He had the misfortune to be born rich and is still wealthy. Never done a days work, professional or manual, in his life. "Thereupon it seems to me that he is fearfully handicapped by heredity and environment. It also appears to me that his brief military service has accentuated erroneous ideas of that, got from much reading of biographies of the old conquerors, else he would not have gave countenance to McClay's slanders of Admiral Schley relative to the naval engagement at Santiago. Of his protege, Taft, all I will say here is that he could have been better engaged than in hunting through the records of his office for data, for publication, of an unfortunate oeriod of Genl. Grant's military service. I came to California two years ago. Am getting better of the rheumatism which afflicted me in Denver. If you go over to Governors Island ask Genl. Grant for to show you some letters of mine regarding Sherman at Vicksburg. Hoping you will be with us yet manj^ years, as ever Truly, Felix T. Gandy. 217 Dubuque, Iowa, Sept. 23, 1908, Gen. Grenville M. Dodge, #1 Bropdway, New York, N.Y. My dear General:- Dislike to trouble you again with some corres pondence, especially feeling that you are so busy all the time with so many matters. Had that picture of the Battle of Atlanta nicely framed an ] same has been on display in the shov; window of an Art and picture Pr,^me Store for several weeks and dozens of people stop there every day, I am infromed, to look at the picture, and all greatly interested, A reporter of the "Times" called the other day and stated he wished to have a fi 11 and complete account covering that part of the July 22nd Battle accroding to the picture, ragarding your self and your command, so he can make a nice article for some Siuiday morning's paper for the "Times Journal". Have an account in Major Beyer's Book "Iowa in War Times," which is quite good, but unless you h-^vo a better one it seems to me that the account In the Gentry ^ook 1 sent you Is the best. If convenient and you sill send .e such account as you consider accurate. interesting and complete, I will give the news-p.per a copy and then return it to you. Trusting that you are well I remain, with very many kind regards. Yours very truly. Peter Kiene. September, 1908, 219 City of New York, Office of the Mayor, September 28, 1908.

Jihad 'accepted the invitation to be present and.make an address for the occasion but was taken sick and sent ny address to Col. Horatio was read by him and was • K. King, the Recorder, .vhioh^/as as follov/s: "It was my good fortune to first become acquainted with General McCleilan when he was a civil eng^'neer in Illinois. I was a young engineer for a short time on the-Ill'no1s Central Railroad and met him there. His courtesy and the manner in.which he treated me captured me, and when.he went to ti.e head" of our armies at Jjifashington I was anx'ous to get ui der his command. I never served under him or had any opportunity to see him until after the Civil War, when interests he was at the head -of iii the Southwest again brought-us together,.and we often met and.were friends a slong as kte lived; and it is a great pleasure and honor.for me to be present at the recognition that thd Army of t.:e'Potomac and govern ment are deservedly'g'ving him by raising to his memory.this beautiful monument in the capital of our nation, which.he did so much to' defend and serve. I have been asked by thbArmy of the Potomac.to.speak.of the "".Yestern Armies in the Civil TZar. My time is'so I'mited that T can only refer to the policy inaugurated by General McClellan ^'n the beginning of the_war, what in my opinion would have been the result if it had been continued, and what, a detriment t was to our TVestem armies that it was'suspended. At the beginning of the Civil War the policy addpted of placing at the head of the Union armies orie Commander-in-chief to control■their ampaigns and movomdnts in the field was a sound and practical ,one. '"'ereral McClell > saw the r.ecessity of having one head for the grand movements of all the armies, and.if his policy had been continued, of* if there had been one head'for all the Western armies, and one head for all the Eastern armies, i t would have shown far different and more effective results than was accomplished with independent coimnanders a t the head of each army, carrying out t..eir own ideas as to the movements of their armies, as to the time when battles should be fought, etc. The result of this policy in the Western armies was that wl.i le the^battles and independent campaigns wore generally successful, we suffered far more than thd Eastern armies in having no s'ngle commander over them all to continue the movements.of these arm-'es and accommodate SttBh. them tomeac^^thfir and reap the benefits of the victories won by ine armies Tennessee, Couth vest, Mississippi, and Cumberland organized at the beginning of the"war, and the 0, io organized in the second yeah of the. war; and fighting separately, each ©ne of these armies won great victories, but each of the T can the result ■, .>w • f-. r - . . vuai Ov i ' ' ' ■ .'Ui' Mf ■! MX-vJea nrw ■ (rrif.foiafv i'* ' 1908. one failed to reap the results of these victories by lacking the co-operation of the other armies in movements and time. TThen these armies were combined mder one head they n't only v/on every battle, but were enabled to vontinue their campaigns and reap great advantages over the enemy by their continued homogeneous plans, and campaigns and bring about the speedy end of the war. My time is too short to go into details, but the recital of what.occurred after each campaign will demonstrate hte correctness of these views. General Grant says that at the time he was ordered.to demonstrate on Columbus, Kentucky, to cover other movements of our forces, he started out with no idea that he would attack the enemy, but as he moved toward that place he saw that hi s troops would be greatly disappointed if he did not make an attack, and that it would be a great detriment to his command and disturb their confidence in him, so he decided that as soon as he came up with the enemy he would attack, although his troops were not disciplined or under such control as to successfully hold them to their work; but he discovered,.and always afterward acted upon it, that the force under him was always eager for battle whenever and wherever opportunity offered. It was only the officers who advised delays and were timid, '.Then Grant, under Halleck, made the campaign up the Tennessee Valley and Donelson.resulted, when Buel moved at the sa.e time to the Cumberland and Nashville fell. Giant said that the two armies combined, the Tennessee and Cumberland, at that time could have marched successfully, without much opposit'on, to the Mississippi River, and opened it from Vicksburg north, and probably south, so that in the second year of.the.war it would have gone unvexed to the sea. If you read the War Records and see bow anx'ous McClellan was that Halleck and Buel should.co-operate and combine and reap the results of their two movements, you can realize what we lost, McClellan, a younger officer, out of respect to the older and more expeirenced, and.bfting in WaslJngton looking more parti cularly after his own command, the Army of the Potomac, did not enfprce his views upon these two co:.imanders, as he would have done .could.he have been on the spot and raAlized what-Grant did. Again, after the battle of Shiloh, when the two armies of the Tennessee and Cumberland, reinforced by the Army of the Mississ ippi uhder Pope, failed to reap any benefits from that great victory because there was no comraander-in-chief of all the armies, the pressure upon the War Department divided that,army into three parts, sending them to different fields, where for a long, time they accomplished'nothing. The Army of the Cumberland, the largest unit of that army, by the superior strategy of the enemy v;as forced back to the Cumberland and almost to the Ohio, and the others for several months held territory and fought battles to maintain the field it had won; while if tiie united army had moved promptly from Corintli south, no Uiin.'^' could have prevented the opening "of the Mississippi In sixty days after the fall of Corinth. Here we again see the necessity of one head, and the failure to carry out the original policy of McClellan so often advised and asserted by Grant. ^1^ ■ After Vicksburg Grant had with him twice the force i.e had when he entered upon that masterly campaign, an as soon as V-'cksbur^ fell, aaked to move with this force across the country and capture Mobile, and by utilizing the Alabama River reach the heart of the rebellion In Georgia, but again the fatal policy of resting was pur sued, and that victorious army was divided up, a portion going to 1908. . East Tennessee arid a portion marching east from Memphis and up the Tennessee Valley with no real object-^ve po^nt unt^'l after Chi ckamauga. As the Western armies concentrated at Chatlanooga there seemed to be a disposition to change the policy, and when Grant for his great vlctoyy there was made the commander-in-Ghief, his first demand was a free hand as to the armies in the field; and he asserted there wqs but one way to end the war, which was that every organization in his force should move on the enemy at the same time, and prevent the enemy from carrying out the^r former tactics of concentrating on each one of our armies a superior or equal force, h.-iving the interior lines, while the rest of our armies were idel; and it was McClellan's belief when he was made Commander-in-chief that this could be accomplsiehd, but perhaps it was too early in the war and ].e was too short a time in supreme command when he had the opportunity for him to put this policy in force, When General Grant returned from his visit to Washington, he told us of the splendid Army of the Potomac that McClellan had o ganized, equipped, and disciplined, and said to us that on the first day of A^ay, 1864, he proposed to move every organized force against the enemy on each of their fronts, and that they must keep the enemy so busy that they could not detach any of their force to any other one of the^r armies. He said to General Sherman: "T expect you to hold Johnston in your front and not allow liira to send any aid to Lee, and if Lee detaciies any of his force from the front of the Army of the Potomac, T will send you two men to his one"; and these orders were carried out, and brought the war to a close within one year, each one of the armies. East and West, in unison doing fully its part. The three Western armies that had fought so successfully individually were brought together under one head, Sherman, in the Atlanta campaign, and workedtogether like clockwork. There was no friction, no Jealousy, each one was not only ready but always anxious where the necessity occurred to help the other, and when any one of the units won a victory, or took any part commendable to it, it received the praise and approbation of all the rest. There was a comradeship, a love, a pride, and determination that cannot be successfully described; you harve to see and feel it to appreciate it, T remember that the Armies o f the Tennessee and Chio, the two smaller ones, were kept on the flanks during most of the Atlanta campaign, and naturally got the most raps and longest marches and least rest, Wlien the commander of one of tliese armies suggested to General Sherman that tlie Army of the Cumberland, which was equal in numbers to the other two, shou Id occasionally have a flank posit'on, Sherman replied that he had considered that, but you know if the enemy would wipe you two out (McPherson and Schofield) T would have Thomas left, and they could not budge him. In my opinion the great work of General ttcClellan in organizing, equipping and disciplining the Army of the Potomac has never been fully appreciated, it is an easy matter to hold an army together and continually fight it when it is constantly victorious, but the test of an army can only be made by its action in defeat; and when you consider how often the Army of the Potomac fought great battles with Umaatisfactory results and held together without pannio or great loss of prisoners, and again and again immediately went into battle and 224 "fj s'' ■ i 1908, lined up ■ith the same bravery and determ'nation, stamped it, as Grant said, the best organized, equipped, drilled and disciplined s ' Army of the Civ'1 T^ar; and to General McClellan is due the great credit for the continued efficiency of the Army of the Potomac, which under the lead of Meade-and Sheridan and the direction of Grant made those desp erate, determined, :-nd victorious campaigns from the Wilderness to Appomattox." , . c ' ■ ' ■y 'J .u'l 't''.- ■ • itO ii' y . i- 1 ' i < •dJ , n . iO 'lO'ifMiifn n mriinn ^ii/o "lo i;."' .ior/" n-- 3M hii ■ 4lf>b' Piw*- bi ;h two la ^rfv rf'ilw fp'ieJrf* rjf li 4nAi lofdo*niN»i«l»fr«i(4io9 yafr ari nativ lA*Ia# i * ' I F'-tXOo'' bfvi %mt tU ^"uia oo4 if itil f<.«ooo/^ al M;K.d Xi *nititonqa f*Ai ba i baflotaao nmnqijn n* t<r.is n i^iada ooJ nav a i r Juq aj hm lol •d '.fiiajvr ai itriv rfn aa*!! bomuin Jrunn laniaoaO itadV bad rbXlalOoif ommic^ bA.j lo xnA b^bnalqa adi ta uu bfa.! 0.(4 ir i»tiJ •u oj btAr bna fbanflq'aafb b«a ^aqqfnia ,boxnii% o aoiol baafiiasto bJ Maoqoiq ad «^M| lo v'<b iantl qaad 4r«« ixa.# Joai oiM uWll v> daaa ito 'cnana a..4 jrirTN^a o4 acmol i^aiU la ^na dMia^ ion bXvo vadl Xndi %9ui on vtoiwijw t* I iiwiailt faiatfao o4 bfaa ai: «aalflia niadi la ano nau^io xrta aaactJ bne | eno 9*a oi aim aaj oat bnaa iifa Y laaaoJa^ a.t4 fa tidnA ohj OAO nfd4f« aaale a a4 aaa aaJ Xhawaid bat ^Joa baHpu# aaaa aiabno '^i<tb naafow mf «iadt baa Htfr atU la aiw daaa «ia«x Xi-l^vlneaosL« aa idanal bad 4a.f4 aaFaaa ff«a4adV ipwil atft #4iiiq ail adi nf ,ri»»»ed6 ,baad ano tabMH faddaAOi ii^taaad anaa ^ fxrr eaa tioiff >i'>olo ad'l aarUataila#ioa btta a.t lft<}Aao -Jmr/M afaala iutf Tbaan flaa Jon aaa ana itaaa on ,nnrtoHl nadla (Np ^lan'Ya aiti %lad mi batiaaaa x4<^aaaaan t;ij aaaita nva^tno r>/ oldabnaawloe 4nan xna tfaad ta «x^oieYf a now nj^mi ad4 la ana xna »ntn mii xia lA w^iadotq'rA bna aalanq orf.i barUam il «4t • 1 Jo '.iiuo iorfi fia»4An*ariaXfii Ma ,ab>«a(i a «aaol a «q^iaa.vatcsoo a nan .if njraf9»*iv|q» oJ 41 raal brta aaa a4 nM tfOf {ba(l*i'ii.at .Ifolaaaoowa ami mtU 09td bna aaaaanoaT adi 1 a aarcnA aril 4aii4 'ieda<«'9a T , r,»anflMio «4,tal4A ad/ to 4t<Mi 7*11 >TtA ajln^ll ad4 no /qai »>'ioa *aano .1 '^1 inaai biai aadaiaa 4aa?\iio| ^na as an 4a(Ni fmJ io- ziXm-tviMi boa t la-iAiiaO ai tmif io^xia aaatJ lo atto la nabn^:jar>f< #41 iiaift ni, oj titrnmm a I Imrpm aa« dor it ^ 'nAlnwfuafO 0,14 to vmnA 114 4,^4.4 'I'loi nr.*i#iir ftna*4*aa« ibiaXt a aoax til''"»^'«atoo bX aodo ,o«4 101140 wi («,»w Mooa qaana odi If uax 4'aI ,4t .4 bonoblniioo ad 4wl4 Xo.U brf^ ,41»I aanotiy ataX bXirov Y (biono a£ brrt noaioiftaiC) iaa ow' *.i a2ji»u:f ian Miwo ,'m^»»naffo 'lailaiOdI Xanana*^ to Xiao /a#i;^ a.(4 no» fqo au at iii ':ea5!?;aiif«s J«a4 ada /v^ «• tio»^o»ir tX4M*noo e» JTnaio 4f iiia*! \,il««rtflaaa nox i/ox <Wiiw bo'' (/aailab ijmfna nf n* naY/oa aaY4oa UJ* #4' va vd a(baa aaan ad ad xino xino nae nae Mna mnm r»» r»a lala .4fw aal44aif -^aan.^ Ht^jon aaaia/at cai la tinA *»aJ mi/lo aaXfob'rnoo to ^'*•^1,^ iwailfw ia4iaM4 bXoct mm ajXuaai xio/aata^iaaait 1.« er/4Aif a4n» iflMHr xXaiifbaaaf nf^o bs^ nfaan bnn ^aaanaafT.; in h;/:.

Dear General:- A committee of fflembers of the Society of the Army of the ""ennessee, and of such as are eligible to that organisation, has been formed and has held meetings to prepare for the entertainment of the 5ociet3'' on the 11th and 12th prox. Arrangements have been made with the Southern Hotel, whereby it will he the headquarters of the Society, and both the banquet and general exercises will take place in its large dining hall. In making our arrangements, it has been decided to make the pilgrimage to General Sherman's grave on the first day, going there and returning in electric cars, v/hich will take us to the gate of the cemetery, from which the grave is distant only about two city blocks, and the Rev. Dr. Kiccolls, of Ransom Post, one of the finest orators of our city, has been mentioned as a desirable speaker to express a few of the prominent thoughts that would naturalljr arise on such an occasion, the remarks to be expressed in about fifteen minutes. 'le have also concluded to accept an invitation of our Commandery of the loyal Legion to partake of a lunch on the second day. Before definitely fixing the programme, it was thought best to lay the matter before you and ascertain what time will'^suit you best for the holdings of the meetir.gs of the Society, and what length of time, in your opinion, will be occupied by the two meetings. If the first meeting is held in the morning, otir pilgrimage to Calvary Cemetary, which will probably take two hours and a half, may have to be nut in the afternoon. "Ve desire, of course, to so arr-ange matters that there may be no hurry in doing what may have to be done, and in order that the members may have some little time to be spent with friends whom thejr may wish to see. With reference to the public exercises, the thought has been expressed and found favor, that they should not last beyond eleven o'clock, at the lateat, and hence it will be well to know if th"t idea is adopted, what length of time the speech of the evening (namely "r. Sherman's) will consume, inasmuch as there can be no limitation of time upon that. Could you ascertain this for us? With reference to the banquet, it was thoiight that we would arrange to begin promptly at an early hour, and also conclude the same about eleven o'clocl;. The Committee would thank you very much to have an expression from you with reference to the foregoing matters, so that our arrange ments may not interfere with your wishes in the premises. Hoping to hear from you at your convenience, and if possible, before 'Wednesday afternoon when the next meeting takes place, l" remain Yours very sincerely', !'• Leo Rassieur. October, 1908.

Dodge, Council Bluffs, Iowa, My dear General Dodge Not until I received notification of the coming meeting of the Iowa Gociety in my mail today did I know that you were leaving New York. Will you permit one of your more recent friends to express his regret that you are not to be of the circle here, and his con gratulations to the old state that you will be among your friends there? I had quite counted on the call at your office with which I threatened you some months ago, just as you were going West on your annual inspection trip, but as it is I shall have to look forward to a call on you some day in Council Bluffs. It occurs to me that you can give me a bit of information that I have vainly sought from other sources. Do you know if the Government ever published and distributed the report of the Commission for Investigating the Conduct of the War, of which you were Chairman, after the Cpanish-American war? If the report was ever published, I am ansious to obtain a copy of it, and up to this time, I have failed to accomplish anything in that direction. Trusting that you are well, and that the Iowa winter will be kind to you, I am. Yours with great respect, Trurabull White. AA Editor. October, 1908. 537 American Ave., 2'i9 Long 'Beach Calif. '' Octi -20, 1908. G. M. Dodge, Council Bluffs, Towa. My Dear Old Colonel:- Yours of the 15th inst., received. The climate here has been benificial to my health in a general way but really the improvement of my bodily condition, as to Rheumatism, is due principally if not wholly to dieting, with perhaps some aid from the excellent drinking watter with which our little city is at present supplied. Our water comes from artesian wells; is soft and has trace of some kind of mineral or combination of mineral. At first this water was unpalatable to me but I soon becaiae accustomed to it. For years my system had been clogged up and was burdened with too much flesh; weighing 210 lbs, normal being about 170. Have long been convinced that such condition could only be cured by dieting but being habituated to eating restaurants and boarding houses could rot carry out ny plans until about four months ago when I commenced baching. Was fortunate in being near to a good bakery where I could getwhole wheat bread which is the basis of my dietory system. I have cut out all drinks except hydrant water and that without ice and use it very sparingly at meals. My present bill of fare will explain better. Breakfast: Some fried bacon and two eggs also fried. Large,firm, ripe tomatoes sliced and as much whole wheat bread as I relish. That's all, no condiment of any sort. Lunch:- A generous slice of bread and a large bunch of grapes and that is all of that too. Supper, as the * persist in calling the last meal of the day, same as for the breakfast. Occasionally I eat a canteloupe, but without any kind of condiments. This has been my food without variation since I started in to do my own cooking. Now as to result. The bowels began to move freely and regularly sometimes would feel weakness after evacuation, but did nothing for that but sit awhile in my arm chair and smoke my pipe. The first beneficial change I noticed was that my swollen feet were getting down to normal and that a very troublesome corn was going. Also noticed that the bay window was becoming less prominent. Then rheumatism pains in night shoulder disappeared. So three days ago I weighed and found that my system of diet had eliminated ten pounds of worse than useless matter. During all this period I have worked daily, but not fatiguingly so. The tomatoe season is long here but will be over soon as also for grapes and then I will try the canned article for tomatoes and raisins for grapes, but will stay with staples of whole wheat bread and 230 bacon and eggs. To get right on these matters is more important to us than "the election of Bryan or Teddy's man. With best wishes, Truly yours, Felix T. Gandy, . . : .. ..

October Twent3''-second, 1908. My dear General:- I have your dispatch of yesterday asking as to political prospects. You seem to be pretty nervous out West, .I'udging from your telegram. We are not nervous in the East at the present time, for we are perfectly satisfied that New York is absolutely sure arid by a pretty large majority for Taft, and as we know that Bryan cannot win without New York we are confident of Taft's certain election. We also believe that Hughes, while he will run behind Taft, will be elected. He is making a splendid campaign. His action in going to help the Party in the West, leaving his own field in danger behind him, won him the support of many voters and especially of zealous republicans who before did not intend to vote for him. He made good ina splendid way and is now stronger than he ever was. The race track people and gamblers, the school teachers, whom he would not support for more pay, the doctors, whom he offended by signing the Osteopathic bill, the brewers and distillers are all against him, but thousands and tens of thousands of democrats are for him on his moral issues; the bankers and corporations and trust people, who were afraid if he shall be re-elected he will do to them as he did to the insurance companies, are also changing over. It has been called to their attention that if he is defeated for Governor Taft would be bound by all the requisites of honor to put him in his Cabinet, and they begin to think they would rather have him two years as Governor than four years as Attorney-General. Everybody here is feeling much better than at any time in the campaign, including the National Committee. Wbile saying this I do not mean to say that there are not danger spots in the national situation. Ohio is worst of all, according to the inside view, but during the present week the National Committee has taken the campaign there out of the hands of Vorys and the State Committee, and are running it entirely and supplying it with all the speakers it needs and with everything else that can be furnished. Indiana was democratic a few days ago, but is fast being made republican, It is the inside calculation here that Taft will carry all the Northern States except Nevada, Colorado and Montana and possibly Nebraska. Of course, there may come some cataclysm of scandal or forgery between now and election, but that is no longer probably, although possible. Any explosion on the Panama matter, the Philippines or anything else as to things which occurred years or months ago is now barred out; the people would not be fooled by such a recourse. As to money, I think the situation has been solved by having the contributions made to the State and not the National Committee. We are to have the annual meeting of the Iowa Society tonight to name a committee to nominate officers for the next year. We had a little caucus at George Parker's office yesterday to try and agree on a ticket, It would have warmed your heart and made you a boy an-ain if you could have heard the united expressions of affection for you and the sorrow over your departure from New York. You have made us all feel like orphans, those of us who are left behind. If love and good wishes will - ake your days and nights happy, there are enough of these in New York along to insure you such a happy state. We are going to start a movement tonight to build a monument 232 to Allison in Iowa and another in Washington. Our action will pro bably be sent to the Iowa papers. I think he deserves both, and both can certainly be carried out. I am, With affectionate good wishes to you and all old friends. General G. M. Dodge, Baldwin Block, Council Bluffs, Iowa.

Dear Sir: I have gotten into a controversy about Captain Bonnesville and the mention of his name remids me thattyou spoke of him when I last sew you in New York in 1903 and showed me a ,.icture of your staff (dated I think 1862) in which he appeared. I write to ask if you can give me some data as to his service in the Civil War. Is it possible for riie to get a copy of ttie photo graph with Captain Bonneville mari<ed so I can tell which one he is. I remember your saying that you lost track of hi;n after the cose of the war. I find thai he retired to a good sized plantation which he purchased near Fort Sniith, Arkansas, and died there June 12, 1878. The Western Tacific Railway is going ahead slowly but steadily, we have about 700 miles of grading finished and 440 miles of track laid, ♦ about half on each end. The track froir; Salt hake is a short distance west of Ilumbolt '.''ells, Nevada. It will take about a year to complete th.e whole 927 miles. We are not doing any cou.mercial business yet. Ur. Bogue is still in charge oi the construction niatters and sends his regards. Sincei'ely yours, H. ^•cCartney. October, 1908. 2^5 October 30, 1908. Lieut. Colonel John F. Nicholson,- Recorder-in-Chief, U.S. M.O.L.L., Philadelphia, Pa. If.y dear Colonel and Companion: Referring to yours of October 5th, I hand you as nearly as I can remember what I said in answer to the complimentary resolutions at Burlington. "Companions,-- your complimentary resolutions came unexpectedly to mie. I fully appreciate and heartily thank you for tliem. This is my first mieeting with you since I was selected as your comrnander-inChief. Com.ing to mie as it did, unsolicited and unexpected, as I was then in the far west and did not even icnow that you were in session, I fully appreciate the great compliment you paid me and prom.ptly accepted, and I extend to you niy most grateful thanks, as I consider it as great an honor as it would be possible to pay me. I look upon this organization as the most distinguished and useful of all patriotic societies. In its constitution and actions it has shown the greatest patriotism and interest above and beyond any selfish or personal motives in the welfare of our country. Since its organization it has been ran so successfully that it is looked upon the world over as a great honor to become one of its niembers, and for this successful administration the credit is due, as you all know, to our Recorder-in-Chief, Colonel Nicholson, who for thirty-three years has devoted his time and his ability to its management. Truly and cordially, Grenville . Dodge. 237 Washington, D. C. Nov. 1, 1908, Esar General I hear Sheridan's monument is to be dedicated on the 25th inst and that you will be present, which is the most cheerful part of it so far as my household is concerned, altho' I'm a military worshiper at Sheridan's shrine. HcCoy came up the house the other night to verify a suggestion he had made to the President for his address on the above occasion, viz. to say a work of the effective way, original with Sheridan, of making winter campaigns against the Indians. I told him that while Sheridan and his subordinates had done this effective work you had originated this action in a most effective manner throughout a longer area in the winter of '65 and '66 ar.ti that the President on that occasion could do nothing better than honor both Sheridan and yourself. Your reminiscences infer that the "/ar Dep't. had ordered Curtis to do this, that he declined and you took the Job. If that is trize who in the 'Var Dept. originated the ideaV Had vou recommended it? We would like very much to take care of you while you are here and you can be free to go and come as you choose, and have my office in the house to transact business. With love from us all. Sincerely , John A. Joluiston, Gen. G. M. Dodge Council Bluffs, Iowa. Room 64 Baldwin Block. November, 1908. New York, November 2nd. 1908. Gen. G. M. Dodse, Baldwin Block, Council Bluffs, Iowa. My dear General I have your letter of October 30th in re/^ard to the dividend upon the "Stamped" Stock. I remember that the Trust Company has raised some point in regard to the question because it was called interest, and that the Company decided to be bound by our circular and I still think that it is a matter that if it were taken into court would have to be decided in equity, and, if so, that the views set forth in my memorandum, copy of which I sent you, would prevail. I note what you think about Jones and his road. I have not the least idea where the road he is going to build is located. He tole me something about it, but it did not make a fixed impression upon my mind, but I told him I would take an interest with him. I note what you say about Mr. Trumbull being in favor of building North from Stamford, and that you think we should build to a connection up to Plainview in Hale County. Also, note what the Swensons say they are willing to do. I suppose this would depend somewhat upon what the road was going to cost and how many bonds would have to be issued. I have not gotteh used to the idea of your having retired from New York, and taking it easy at your old home. I hope I will be able sometimes soon to run out in your neighborhood and drop in upon you and bfeathe some of the atmosphere you find so good. This is the eve of election and I am sorry to say I have not been able to feel as optimistic as some of my friends. I still fear a little that the election m±y go to Bryan. I do not believe we have ever had such a big unknown vote as there is this year, the unem ployed and the people who are tired of "my policies." Yours very truly, H. Walters. Nov. 1908. 241 Danville, 111., Nov. 7, 1908. Dear General:- The outcome of the election was a source of much grati fication to me, but I have had quite as much satisfaction from the messages I have received from good friends like you. Their congratulations and expressions of confidence and good will mean much to me. So I thank .you sincerely for your kind favor of 4th inst., and send vou every good wish. I am as ever, with respect, etc.. Yours truly. Gen. G. M.Dodge, CouncTil Bluffs, Iowa. Joe Cannon " ■■ '■ ■ ' 245 .-■■nuni X»a. i New York, Nowember 8, 1908, Gen, John J.

Tt will be impossible for me to attend the Sherida unveiling. I would like very much to have done so, as you know Sheridan first reported to.me for duty in this country as quartermaster at Rolla. Mo,, where he organ^'zed the forces that made th southwestern campaign, and we were very warm personal friends as long as he lived, ad he spoke of me in h"s memotrs in the highest terms. T send you under separate cover two copies of an address T made upon the Indian campaigns on the plains in the winter of '64 and '65, one of which you can give to McCoy. This campaign came about in this way. I was in command of the Department of the Missouri witi; headquarters at St. Louis and supposed t was comfortably fixed for the winter , T think U «a3 in December I received a d^'snatch from Gen. Grant asking me if a campaign could be made against the Indians on the plains in the winter. I answered "Yes, if proper preparation was made for •»t." The War Department immediately consolidated t:.e Department of Kansas, and the territories, into the Department of the Missouri, rel-'eving Gen. Curtis who was in command of the Department of Kansas, and T received an order to go immedia ely to Port Leavenworth where I would receive instructions. Hhen I arrived there I found the .officers in the department of Kansas had declared notning could be done with the Fndians until spring, in other words, until the grass came, and I found my instructions there from Gen. Grant to go ahead and open the stage and telegraph lines across the continent as soon as I couLd make preparations for it. The little pamphlet T sond you gives you a better hiratory of the matter. Of cotirse we had lived on th.e plains In the winter in making our surveys and reconnoissances and I had that experience, . The winter of 1865 was the su'dest one T ever saw. On March 2nd of that winter there was over two feet of snow fell, so you see what I.ind of a snap T got into by my answer to the telegram of Gen. Grant, Please ask McCoy .to ascertain for me if he can if Midshipman R. L. Montgomery, who is now on the Nebraska, is one of those who are detailed to e xchange places at Manila instead of going on with his ship. We understand that four Midshiemen from each of the fleet are to be left in Manila or that vicinity and relieve Midshipmen who have been on duty there a year or tww, Montgomery's mothfekr, who, you know, is my daughter, is anxious to know as she wants to send Christmas things to her son and some of her friends on board the ship. I have given up my private officers in New York and am here at my home for good, and T want you and Mrs. Johnston to come out and vifeit me sometime. "When you come We6t let me know and T will give you a goocl time out here in the wild and wooly west. Truly and cordially, G. M. Dodge, ,r<Oai , ' r v Mr. V. G. Bogue, San Francisco, Cal.

We made a thorough examinat'on of that line south of jr the lake, and my impression is that we had to use muchj higher grades. ' • Perh?ips you took the work. I am glad to know you are so near complet'on. There is one question that has arisen in my mind, what your business is to be unless y u rea-^h out in a different portion of the Pacific -coast.

Nov. 11, 1908, Gen. G. M. Dodge, Bal'dv/in Block, Council Bluffs, Iowa, Dear General I ha\ e yours of Nov. 4th and also the two copies or pamphlets describing yourlcampaign against the Plains Indians in the winter of 65 and '66. If have just finished reading this most interesting bit of plains; history and you would have heard from me earlier but that Mrs. Johnston and I have just returned from Philadelphai. Now first as to Montgomery. McCoy has Aone to his regiment withnthe past few days . At the Navy Dept.' I was advised that being of the class of 1907 he was eligible for transfer but that the matter was wholly in th-e hands of Admiral Sperry and it would not be definitely known at the department until the latter part of the month. Elsewhere, I was informed that it was the intention of the Dep't. to transfer all of the midshipmen of the class of 1907. If such be the case it can be definitely confirmed at the end of this month keeping in mind that a transport sails for the ""hilippines' on the 5th of every month unless it falls on Sunday andthen on the 6th. This year it falls on the 5th which would give time to get the Christmas box aboard. I will send*one of these pamphlets to the President either by mail or one of the officers on his staff. Now General myfirst reading of this pamphlet-with a Century Dictionary Atlas on my knee 1 ads m to believe it would be well for you when you h-^ve a moment to go over it again and for-the benefit of readers who love to-read of the old times and men's great deeds to pencil in definite locations of places named, by Atlas index does not give Mud Springs, nor Port Rankin for i; ; tance .and for the moment I have not been able to find them tho' trey may be with the map. Then too, there are several Big Sandy stre-ms 6n one of which Coe hivington had h-is fight. The pamphlet came just at a time when I was reading Parkman s Oregon Trail, in which he forshadwed trouble, oi ® expedition to old Pt. Laramie I think in '46 Sr having 4 J begun the I'll ^^'I'V^nworth. slaughter of The whites.

As a 'mattef of fact' your energetic, concentrated and aggressive campaign broke up for the time an Indian conspiracy as widespread and effective as Pontiac's in 1760, so graphically describedbj'- Parkman who clearly shows up the treachery of the Indian Character in war precisely as you yourself learned to know him from your■ plains experience. Practically every pre revolutionary ■^'ort westof the Allegheny Mts, and north of the Ohio River and west of Niagr to the Illinois River except Detfoit and Pt. Pitt was captured by the permitted entry of professedly friendly Indians who at signal butchered everybody at hand. When I look back upon it all, i't seems strange to me that in all the y ars of the Array's struggle v;ith the Indians that there should not have been at west Point a course of study of the Indian Character in his peace and ./ar habit and customs against one another as well as in war with the whiltes. Such as could well have been briefly compiled from Parlcman who had ransacked the world for his works, instead, of leaving it fo'r each officer to learn by cruel experience, for the In'dian of 1865 -06 was the same savage that he was 1760-65 and from the immemorial past.

John A. Johrston, ^ i * I' 251 1908. . The Society of the Army of the Tennessee held i ts thirtyeighth meeting at St. Louis, Missouri, on November llthand 12th 1908. At the opening of the meeting on the morn^'n^- of the 11th,. T made the < following remarksl "Comrades and Ladles of.the Society of the Army of the Tennessee: It Is a great pleasure to see so goodly a number at this reunion. T have received letters from almost all the members of our Society, and especially from those who could rot attend, and It Is a great satisfaction to me, and T know It Is to you, that most of them are still In the harness looking forward to a great many more useful days. • You will remember that a year ago at Vicksburg we held our reunion ^n a time of the-greatest flnanCal panic that ti;ls country perhaps has experienced,•but it is a great satisfaction now for us to meet one year afterwards and find the greater portion of our country almost as prosperous as it has bee'n at any t^me In Its history. We have just passed through an election that has been conducted upon a high plane, and T tlInk T can say that the successful candidate Is peculiarly fitted to fill the h-* gh posit-'.on that, he has been called to, and It Is the duty of all veterans and of all good citizens to stand by him, and we hope that dur'ng his administration we will have peace and a continuance of prosperity. We all remember that at the meeting in Vicksburg, we were entertained especially by Lieutenant General Lee, who was at that time at the head of the United Veterans and he took great pains to make our stay there pleasant. He took us out to the battle field and showed us where on his front an Towa brigade carried the only redoubt which was carried, T believe, in the Vicksburg campaign. He asked that brigade to come do-wn to tlie^ r reunion at Vicksburg, and that Invitation was accepted. Through the labor of entortaln'ng the;;, he contracted a disease that carried him away. Upon hearing of his death t sent the regrets and tiio condolence of myself and of this Society, and for the Society tliere was placed upon his coffin a floral tribute. I think all of us who met General Lee at that reunion were chamred with his perso'-allty and greatly regret his passing away. I have here a letter from Father Sherman, who Is out In Oregon. It Is rather personal to me, but as 1t Interests all of you, t will read It: Baker City, Oregon, Octo. 22, 1908. My dear General:--As soon as we have a President-elect, t want you to be so kind as to ask him to appoint to West Po'nt, Anthony F. Bacon, son of General-John M. Bacon (now-of Portland, Oregon) grandson of General Anthony Forsythe and great-grandson of Governor Dennlson of Ohio. Genewal Bacon, the boy's father, was for thirteen years on my father's personal staff. The boy ia the stuff that soldiers are made of. T ask the favor, General, In my father's name, and T trust to your Influence to get the appo'ntment as a Presidential one. The boy Is now 17. I want him to enter In 1910. Please accept my regrets for oiir next meeting. T am sorry that I can not hear Gump's oration. I am with you In spirit, as always and only regret that T can not meet you all at the genial board.' 9^59 u O /V 1908. ^ Of course T shall personally make th^* s appeal to the President elect, and with the permission of the Society T will also add their request, •' ' .

At 11;00 we took tl";e oars to v'sit General Sherman's grave at , ;ii the Calvary cemetery After assembling at ti.e grave, T addressed the Society as follows: * , • "Many members of the Society iiere will remember how seventeen years ago the Army of the Tennessee followed General Sherman from the railroad station to this, his resting place. T accompanied General Sherman's body from his home In New York, and t can remember vividly the scene In Now York as tl.e funeral cortege moved tlirough that city to the Pennsylvania Railroad to take the funeral train. T call to mlnd tl.At In the'carriage with me following the A body were General Joseph E. Jolinstnn, General Schofleld and others, nnd T remember well the tribute that General Johnston paid to General Sherman and the'fffectlon he had for him. As we'pfeissed" across the continent, at every station crowds fathered, nnd the emblems of mourning decorated all tiie towns, showing 253 1908. what the people thoucht of.General Sherman. 'In this city the Army of the Tennessee marched -immediately in the rear of .the caisson upon which the remains were carr^'ed from the station up to this place. The streets on both sides were crowded with people, and we saw evidences that impressed every one of us of the love and affection.of the people for General Sherman. Prom the sidewalk'colored and .vhite people would run out, and, as the caisson passed by, would fall on their knees and offer a prayer." Here at this grave Thomas Sherman, the son of General Sherman, redd the full buriai service \i'ithout a termor, giving the order for the _ volleys • wlm" ch -.-ere fired over the grave. General Schofield, who stood by my side, spoke to me with the tears running down his checks and asked me, "How long could you do that?" I-answered, "Not for oi^e moment." ? It was a scene that impressed everyone present. When the ■ service was through and we had returned to the cars T asked Father Sherman, "Ho-w could you go through that -wervice as you did without showing any emotion, not even a tremor?" Father Sherman answered, "Because it was my duty," and T discovered in the son one of the qualities that was so prom'nent in General Sherman. .We all k.-ow how he lived up to every duty and made all of us perform ou;- dut'es, ^ It is a great blessing to us that so'many of us are alive today and can be present here to-pay our tribute to our old commander v;hom we.followed so confidently and whom we held in such love and esteem." I was'followed by the Rev. 3. J. Niccoll3,'of St. Louis. At the evening meeting Governor Joseph W. Folk received the Society in behalf of the stAte of Uissouri and the address of welcome for the city was by Col. D. P. Dyer. I answered as follows; "On behalf of the Society of the Army of the Tennessee t accept your cordial welc me and.extend to you their grateful thanks. This Is our fifth meeting in'your city. All of them have been noted by the distinguifehed officers and citizens who ha-ve taken part, and of their great historical in.terest. We remember well that your city began the first great effort tha settled the West. Perliaps no one is better acquainted with the develop ment of the country West of the llississ^ppi River that followed the explorations of Lewis and Clark, of Asldey and Bridger, of Bent and Borinevllle, of the Chotaus, the Campbells and their comrades than Their trails T followed'for saw the first pony express, next the telegraph, then the stage and finally the ra"Iroad, which took possession of the paths across this continent these pioneers had made by their energy and courage. St. Loul.s also was naturally the pion-^er of the West' in the Civil War. Lgon, Bla'r, Slegel, Ostei'haus and many others of your citizens st'nick the blow that saved to the Union your own State and 0- 254 1908. aroused the Northwest to the necessity of quick and decided action. Generals Crant, Sherraan, Sheridan Scl.ofield, A. J. mith and many others performed ti-eir first duty and made their frrst campaigns in tl;is State. When. T. reported here with my .regiment General Sherman was in coran;and'of fienton Barracks. Captain Sheridan reported to me at Rollr , luissouri, -as -iuartermaster of the forces,that were to form the Army of the Southwest. Schofield was a Lieutenant just returning from his i/ilson Greek fight; Grant a Colonel in crmmand of a regiment serving in your State, and here, virtually, was created the Army of the Tennessee. Sherman tellB us of its f ox''raat''on and how it obtained its name, and in a characteristic description that we who served under him fully appreciate. He says: "'Vhilst our parlor knights, bold in words but not in deeds, were crying aloud, 'On to Richmond,'. Break the backbpne of the rebellion,' 'Crush the monster in the bud' and other harmless, general expressions of more sound than.fury, quietly, v/ithout no" se or confusion, without boasting or bluseter, without wound of the trumpet or the press, an army mostly of Testern men had assembled at Cairo and Paducah under the leadership of him whom we still delight to ^call our chief, embarked upon.their frail steamboats and, convoyed by the gallant navy under Commordore Foote, turned their course up the Tennessee River and assumed the proud title of the Urray of the Tennessee.'" From this beginning that army, all the distinguished officers^^ I have named and many others, rose to great deeds and greater results. Finally, its first leaders and many of its subordinates rose to.the highest rank.and command in our service. When St. Louis looks back on these two great events in the history of our pountry, well may she-be proud of her strategic location, her foresightedness and her energy in conquering and dev eloping an emprel, and secondly, her patriotism and loyalty in the pa>t she took in saving the Nation. Tt is a singular fact that th<- Army of the Tennessee was blessed with success wlxerever it faced the enemy; her officers ste&dily advanced in rank and command; in no instance did they fail; thus.followed a subordination to authority;■ an esprit du corps, a fellowship and comradeship which existed throughout its ent're life, and every one of its survivors look back upon this with'the greatest pleasure, satisfaction and 'pride. Nothing marred its life, and we of that army look back upon our services with It an'd consider them the most honorable of our lives. . .. ... . . Yearly this old army is going to rest with its illustr-'ous leaders, three of whom lie burled in thts city, but we are leaving behind a record, and we hope to be followed by the younger genera tion, our sons and our daughters, who are taking our- places and who will attend these reunions, bringing to them increasing interest, and we are certain in their hands oUr old army will forev-r be revered, and honored as one of the great units that saved the We fully appreciate the reception we have received hereand the interest, nearly half a century after our deeds, that is taken ^ In us. We assure you it strikes deeply in all our hearts; it will never be forgotten, and w-^ return to yon our thanks and our heartiest Appreciation of your many ind words and your pnerous treatment. T convey to you with all my heart the best wishes of th-s Society fa the sucLss, the happiness and the greatness of your c^ty and people. She rman and in a rou '.vi th aii my nearu une ucoo v. - the happiness and the greatness of your city and people. 255 1908. The oration was delivered by P. Tecuraseh Sherman, son of General Sherman and was devoted to his father's campaign from Atlanta to Washington and to the negotiations with Jonnston, a very able and interesting oration. Following Mr. Sherman was General John W. Noble of St. Louis who gave many reminiscences of his acquaintance with Sherman. At hthe business meeting on the second day the President made a report on the progress of the building of the Grant Monument.

I am sorry that you were inoonvenieneed in any way about the cipher parts of my telegram. Howe-ver, I hope my telegram of yesterday addressed to rou at St. Louis clarified the dividend matter for you. I read your answer to the Board and have just telegraphed you as follows: "Board just voted two per cent, dividend on common stock payable December fifteenth." Ten members of the Board were present and the action was unanin.ous. I enclose herewith copy of the resolution adopted. As you have no doubt observed, the stock market has been rather complimentary the last few days to our stock and I feel sure we made no mistake in doing what we did today. My other cipher telegram of Novonber ninth should be translated as follows: "We want report on resources country between Orin Junction and Yellowstone showing probable traffic for railroad. Also waht check V/orrall's survey. Cowan suggests A.I.Fonder and thinks you know him. Is he a good locating enginees or will you suggest some one else?" Bronner is quite active in buying bonds and indicates a willing ness to buy ten or tweH^e million dollars. Of course this is only part of the problem of building to the Yelllov/stone Kiver, for I think you and I should be satisfied not only about the resources of the country but also as to the loaation of the line. It looks like we mi^t organize a program for it in 1909. Vi^ C ob I thank you again for your splendid telegran on account of my "birthday. I cannot tell you how much it pleased me and how hi^ly I prize it. I ass\ime you are feeling pretty well or you would not be in St. Louis, and I hope your physical improvement will continue. With kind regards and best wishes, I am as e^ver. Faithfully yours, General G.M.Lodge, Council Bluffs, Iowa. j ■ ■ j I Frank Trumbulll. "'.i , , ■iil.. ' 'v ■ 'w'-. ' i/.j ^ 259 Maroa, 111.

Dear f^eneral:- I had expected to stay at St Louis to the Banquet but suddenl y at 12:30 I made up my mind that I had better go hom as my wife might need me. I had but thirty minutes to get my train in East St Louis but I made it with three minutes to spare, l took your advice and got a boy to go with me from the Hotel and put me on my car. 1 reached here last night at 8 P.M. and my wife so happy and glad to see me that I was thankful that I started home when I did. She understands what I tell her and I explained to her how good you had been to me aiid how nic ly I had been cared for by you and the other officers and it pfesed her very much and she remembered years ago when she used to attend the meeting with. You can never realize how grateful I am to you and brother officers for what they did for me. i f el today like a millionare. I have not had so much money at any one time in three years and 1 also feel rich from the kindly interest taken in my case by officers. I wish I could thank personally every officer who contributed to the fund. If I am possibly able I will try and meet you at Columbia at the :reunion next year. Yours very truly and gratefully, • C. p. Em.ery. I have ordered your,album sent to you from Hartford, l can scarcely see to write. , t- ' 261 1908 . On Novemlier 18, 1908, I visited Des Mo-nes and was a guest of the Commercial Club at their luncheon. In address-'ng them T confined my remarks to Des Mo'nes and why it had not met my expec tations and the expectations of bthers in its growth and stated that the cause of it was that the early railr'^ads that were built followed their land grants and did not start from or concentrate at any point ^*n the State except nt Counc'l Bluffs and there She greater Union Paicifc had con?i1Sersil®Smaiia to over-shadow Council Bluffs; that the city of Des Moines being the capital of the State, une would naturally have supposed that the railroads would have made a con centration there and for this reason no great city had been built up in Iowa and in all probability none every would be. The interests of the railroads and of the business of the state were so diversified and that fact that it was purely an agricultural State, would prevent any concentration at any center. In the evening I attended the banquet of the Loyal Legion and delivered ray address on the secretji^ service in the army wh^ch was something new to everyone. I presented many facts in relation to the secret service that had never before been given out as follows: ijLi: Nov. 1908. 263 Northfield, Vt., Nov. 18, 1908. Gen. G. M. Dod/^e, Council Bluffs, Iowa. My Denr General:- I regret very mizch to inform you that Ma.i. Hovey died very suddenly Saturday night of heart failure. About 11 p.m.. he told Mrs. Hovey that he felt very b.-^dly and asked her to call a doctor. Dr. Judkins was in his store and came at once but the Major was dead when he arrived. The fundral was yesterday. We held a meeting of the Board of Trustees last Saturday and at that meeting authorized the deeding of the necessary land to the Government for the weather bureau building. We have not yet secured the title from the A.S.P. Society as they have not the right to deed by their charter. I have had intrxaduc^d in the Legislature a bill that will give them that right. We also decided to purchase as many horses as we have money for and I expect that we shall have at least 10 horses at the opening of the winter term. Would it not be well for me to deed to the University the ]and that I now hold that belongs for you. The grading has been done over a portion of this and I can see no reason for holding it longer. At the meeting of the A.S.P. Society held Nov. 7, it was •decided to procure plans for the building at once and proceed to raise the necessary funds as soon as possible. Construction to begin when we have ^.5000.00 raised. If you will send me your check for the amount you promised to give, ?1000.00, I will at once act on your suggestion and ask Mr. Adams for a similar one. If I am successful with him I shall then be able to say to others that we have over f3000.00 IN THE BANK, and I feel certain that the balance can be raised so that we can begin construction in the spring. Regarding the student aid fund. We have loaned •'^985.00 to 11 men so far this year and have in the bank f430.00 These 11 men will need for the balance of the year at least vlOOO.OO more. We are reasonably sure of collecting ^600.00 more during the college year so we shall have enough to take care of the men we are now helping. There are however, 2 Juniors that have asked for flOO.OO each, 1 Junior wants f150.00 and 1 Sophomore that wants yTS.OO These men will not need the money until the winter term but we have not felt that we could promise them anything unless ^'ou said so. They are all good men and men that I should" like to see stay here but we feel that our first duty is to the men that we are already helping. I hope you will decide to have these men kept here. fulfilled^°^^ profecy regarding Mr. Bryan seems to have been literally Verv truly yours, M. D.

M, Dod^e, Council Bluffs, Iowa, My Dear General:- I have your kind le^.ter of yesterday, and am glad to know that you so greatly enjoyed your visit in Des Moines. I thank you for your kindness in sending me the beautiful Sherman Memorial Volume which I received this morning, and which I was very anxious to obtain. I acknowledge the receipt of your check for ^2.50 with instruction to send the two Volumes to Miss B. G. Shry, Baldwin Block, Cour-cil Bluffs, Iowa. We have only the first Volume at this time, but the second will be out about December 1st. Shall we send you the first Volume now or wait until the second is out and send the two together? With the wish that your life may be prolonged many years to enjoy the distinguished and richly deserved honors which you have received, and again thanking you for the kind encouragement you have •given me in my efforts to make the great work in which I am engaged an honor and credit to our State, I am, dear General, Very sincerely yours. G. W. Crosley. t I • ■ sM Nov. 1908. 267 Gen. G. M. Hodge, Council Bluffs, Iowa. My dear General I write to say that the books you sent me came to hand in due time and let me say to you that they are highly appreciated and allow me to kindly thank you for them, as I can assure you that they are highly interesting to me. As I read my mind goes back to the days of 61 fco 65 when we battled to sustain and defend the flag of our country and our free and independent Government. The books are very entertaining, especially the one relating to your own service in the war and throughout our coimtry as I recall scenes that I passed through when our Regt. was in your command for a short time. How we had been stationed at Paducah, Kv., all through the summer of 63 and about the last of October received orders to go up to the Tennessee River on transports and join your Command at Eastport, Miss., and how we lay packed up for three days and nights waiting for the boats to come on which we were to make the trip to reach you. Then of the march to Pulaski, Tenn., where we remained during the winter. This trip with your command was our first heavy marching so you see we thought it a little tough but I believe we brought our part of it up to your satisfaction. At least. Col. Mercer in whose brigade we were, seemed to think so, as he expressed the opinion that them Paducah soldiers marched like (Hell). He called us Bandbox soldiers because we had been kept on post duty and had seen but little marching up to this time. Now in reading your books all these things are called up afresh in ray memory. I also remember Gen. Swayne who was in your command at that time. I also remember the hanging of the spy at Pulaski, Tenn. and many other incidents that took place at that time, and I can scarcely realize that 45 years have passed since the occurances of which I speak, but such is the fact. Now in conclusion let me say that I was glad to meet you in St. Louis and have the pleasure of speaking to you for a short time and regretted that I could not remain with you longer than I did. And now if it was not for one thing that stands in the way I would invite you to visit our town on next Memorial day. May 30th, 1909 and deliver an address for us on that occasion. Our G.A.R. Post (of which I am the Commander) being small is not financially able to bear the expenses of the R.R. fare from your town and back but let me assure you that it would be one of the greatest pleasures of my life to introduce you to the comrades and to an audience of our people who take a great interest in our decoration day exercises and can assure you of a large and attentive audience at our Hall where we hold our public exercises before going to hhe Cemetary. Now if I might hope that you would see fit to come I will guarantee to make up whatever the post may fall short of the amount required to defray your expenses. Trusting these few lines will find in good health, I remain. Yours in P. C. &.L.. John A, Wilson. Co. B. 111th 111. Vol. Infty. Marissa, 111. 269 • Council Bluffs, November 21, 1908.

The ci, Cbmmercial Club gave me a luncheon and T dellevered an address before ; the Loyal Leg-'on. Everyone t saw there was in favor of the Allison Monument. T talked with a good many and they all stated they were ready to help. It seems to me now right after liis deat:. is the t'me to press it and there ought to be a committee organized in the' state here. The proper place, it seems to me, for it is in the capitol grounds and we ought to go before the legislature when it meets this winter and get an appropriate*on for the pedestal, the same as congress gives for all the statues in Washington. That would allows us to put all we can raise into the bronze figure and the has reliefs if there are any. I''..'- . I received the letters from the Society of the meeting and T • notice ■'n the papers they have carried out t]ie recommendat^*ons of the committee, at which T am greatly pleased. Before we commence doing anyt ing in the State, we will have to fix the location. T have not heard anything yet from Dubuque, v;hfether they objected to the locat-'on, or not, and T do not know whether it was the intention of the Sowa Society or not to erect the monument in *.7ashihgton or in Des Moines, but it seems to me the proper place f or it is in Des. Mo-'nes, the Capital. If anything is done in Washington, it should be done by Congress. My health is good and I am enjoying myself out at my home. I would like very much to have you and Mrs. Clarkson come out here and make me a vis^t. You would get a royal welcome from all Iowa. I nr^ver see an lowana that does not speak of you. iVhen I was at Des Moines I explained to them why Des Mo'nes had not grown into a great commercial center, which they had never even thought of. It was because the railroads built through the state of Iowa following the land grants, from east to east, and made no concen tration at any po'nt except on the Missouri river at Council Bluffs, and the Bluffs wJiich should have been that commercial center was over shadowed by the better position for a city on the other side of the river at Cmaha and because the Un'on Pac'f^c centered all its ra'lroads end expenditures at that po^nt. It was only up to 1883 or 1884 wlien we commenced bu'lding at Des Mo^nea that we brought in the ra'lroads from the north and south. Of courae, roads now are headed for De Mo'nes • and it will not be long before 't will be a commercial center and get to be a city ^f 150,000 or 2C0,000. Let me hear fbom you and tell me all about what the Society is doing, and be sure thoy send me everythTng. t met Trumbull white here and sent him over to Dubuque to see what he could do with Allison's papers, but they are in a position that they .canno t be gotten at very well at present, and T have not had time to go over any of m-'ne yet, T have been so busy. When I was at Des Ko'nes T had a long talk with Governor Ciimmins. He says he never wanted to run against Allison but circumstances for!ced him 'nto it and he is going to use all his efforts to bring harmony into the party. T think he is in earnest and the press over the state and th.e people are supporting him in it. I .not^'ce Hepburn does;n he was very much opposed to him at one time, but Cummins went Into Hep burn's district before election and did everything he could for him. Cummins told me he did not expect Allison's old friends to support him. He said so far as T was concerned T would have been an 'ngrate if T had not supported Allison so you see he takes a sensible view of those things. I am doing all T can to br'ng harmony to the party, liked we used to have. I told the fovernor that we used to go into the con ventions and fight hard, but when we crossed the threshold to go out, we were all for whoever the nominee v/as, there was no knifing,, and that kept a harmonious party and v/e have got to get back to these conditions. The Governor was very eam-^st in h.is desire to do so and I believe the people generally are accepting his posit'on, though in this last' election many of his friends voted against some of the stand patters, but accom plished nothing, , I am, . ,ev ■ -.c Jtmti ■ v.

General Granger and many dffleers recommended to Governor Bla^'r the appointment of i^ptain Sheridan for Granger's Place, and Captain Alger took the^'r recommendations to the Governor, who with his adjutant was-at Pittsburg Landing at the time, and appealed to him to appoint Sheridan; a^id, as Alger has told it to me, the Governor sat down upon a dry-goods box at-Pittsburg Landing and-wrote out on a sheet of paper the order to appoint Sheridan as Colonel of the 2nd ilichigan. As Sheridan tells it, he received this commission by telegraph"from the Adjutant General of the State. When he reported his appointment to General II"lleck and asked to be re lieved, Halleck told him that befo.^ e he could accept his commiss^'on, he would have to obtain permission from the Secretary'of■the.War Department, and Sheridan say's t];at h^^ s heart went down, as he was very anx'ous to get *nto the line. He argued with General Halleck until he consented, telling him the regiment had to leave that night. General Gordon Grangei- gave him i.is Colonel's Straps and he put them upon his Captain's jacket and tr-ok command of the fegiment, and the next day Colonel Sheridan, under Col. Elliott of the 2nd Iowa Cavalry, made a raid on a regiment of Confederates near Boonville, Kiss., had a sharp conflict, and scattered the rebels. . He captured the town and many prisoners that were escaping from Corinth; also several trains of cars, which were destroyed. Ti.is was a surprise to our troops as Corinth i.ad been evacuated without their knowing it. They had to abandon their provisions for the rebel army was upon them. Sheridan's command was .^.oon increased to a Brigade and was stationed Booneville, as an outpost of our army stationed at Corinth. Gen. Chalmers, of the Confederate cavalry, came up to attack Booneville with about 6000 or 6000 men. Sheridan had only 1000 in his command, and as he tells it, he did not see any possibility for him to defeat Chalmers with his small force. He developed his great ability as an officer here, and planned to attack Chalmers in rear and front. He gave Captain Alger two companies from the 2nd M'chigan and two from the 2nd Iowa, an gave iiim one hour to march by-a ti mber-road and arrive in the rear of Chalmer's command, his instructions being wlien hd arrived there to charge in column and endeavor to cut through Chalmers' line of battle, while he (Sheridan) would attack in the front with his small fo^pce, and w^ith the combined attacks they hoped-to demor alize and defeat Chalmers. This attack of Alger was successful, and Sheridan, with his thousand men, defeated Chalmers, took a good many prisoners, and drove him out of ihrt country. Upon the recommendation of General Rosecrans and all the general officers then at Corinth, Sheridan was made a Brigadle—General for ti.is battle. When Grant took'command of this District of West Tennessee, upon Halleck's assignment as Chief-of-Staff at Washington, General Hnlleck ordered Buell and his army to Chattanooga, but Bragg headed him off and forced him to retreat to Louisville. Sheridanwas assigned to a Brigade of three regiments of infantry and one, of cavalry and order ed to Louisville to the Army of the Cumberland, He says it.was the first time he met Grant, and T hnVe heard Grant sny several times that 276 Kti 1908. ^ Sher'dan did not want to serve with h'm, but preferred the army of the Cumberland. Grant disliked very much to have Sheridan leave or desire to leave, but never said anything about ^t, and Sheridan went 'to the army of his choice. In referring to the matter General Sher-'dan has this to say: "Before and during the activity wrn'ch followed his reinstalment, General Grant had become famH-'ar with my services through the trans mission to 17a3l;ington of information T had furnished concerning the . enemey's movements and by reading reports.of.my fights and skirmishes in front; and he seemed lotl. to let me go." Sheridan criticizes the delay in not reinforcing McCook, who had.the right on which Bragg concentrated his army at the battle of Stone River, and that fact was known.at midnight before the attack. Sheridan's division was the only one of McC ok's corps that came out of the attack intact, he repulsing,every attack upon him by Hardee's Corps. He lost his four Brigade Commanders and 41^ of his entire forces, this being, he says, the heaviest loss that he experienced during the war, Rosecrans laid in middle Tennessee from March to August while Grant was pound'ng away on the Mississippi, though urged to attack Bragg, He and his generals opposed it, holding that it was not gOdd strategy to attack whifte Grant was fighting; that it was better to hold Brggg's army in their front and keep it from re-nforcing Johnson, who was organizing an army in the rear of Grant, Sheridan upheld these views unt'l Grant adopted the plan of all armies attacking at once, when Sheridan saw to.e logic of Grant's plan, and that it Tfras the better way of keep'ng the enemy from drawing from one army to reinforce another whil^ some our armies were laying idle while others werd fighting. In regard to the movement sout-h of the Tennessee, when Rosecrans believed that Bragg, when he evacuated Chattanooga, was retreating south Sheridan says he became very suspicious of the-movement; that his scout. Card, when he sent him in^o the enemy's line, discovered some days before the b-ttle that Bragg was expecting to fight and was expecting reinforcements, and //as only awaitinr the arrival of Longstreet to strike. After this discovery it was September 13ti; before Rosecrans began to bring together his ti.ree Corps, and Sl;eridan says that "Bragg could have destroyed tliem in detail when he found his army betv/een lucCook's Corps, wJiich was in the liroomtown Valley, and Thomas's corps which was on the pike marching toward Lafayette, On the l9th, Sheridan fought near the widow Glen's House, "There did not seem to be any regular plan of battle," he says,"And when Rosecrans discovered that Longstreet was on the ground and that Bragg's forces outnumbered his, 'he moved to the left to join Thomas," Sheridan says that movement to th l»ft by the'flank in presence of the dhejiy, who at all points were •seeking to peretrate our lines, was fatal, and was a violation of a simple and fundamental military principle. After the attack of Longstreet on our right and t/.e plerdng and breaking up of McCook's and Crittenden's Corps, Sheridan got together what was left of his division, and, with some other troops, went to Rossville and joined Thomas, He says ha found Thomas very much depressed after his great struggle to save the army, and In which he was successful. Two-thirds of the army was ',hen concentrated iinder Thomas and the crippled condition of the bnemy began to show itself that evening, "I have always thought, Sheridan says,"that had General Thomas held on and attacked the 277 1908. • Confederate's right and rear from where I made the junction with him on the hafayette road, the field of Ghickamaugua would have been relin quished," To us the fact that our army was allov/ed all day of September 21 to move ^nto Chattanooga and form an inVncible I'ne shows the condition of the enemy to -have been nearly as bad as ours, for if Bragg had continued his attack wh-'le we were retreating into Chattanooga he would have caught us at a great disadvantage. General Rosecrans, although he had notice of Longstreet's movement from Richmond to Bragg ten days before the battle, T having sent him a telegram notifying him of the fact, pa-'d no attenfon to it. One of our spies (now living) who was in Richmond came out with Longstreet, leaving him in East Tennessee and getting the information to me, which T immediately wired bo Rosecrans, Rosecrans answered me that the information was not in accordance with his own, Sheridan also gave him the information," which he got througl: his scout Carci; and Colonel "Wilder, of Wilder's Brigade, both gave Rosecrans the information. But, as with me, he said he did not believe it, and showed a dispatch from the war department at Washington that no troops had left Lee's army. He did not believe this reinforcement had come until the day before the battle, when Wilder and Atkins both showed him prisoners taken from Longstreet's Corps, then pfesent on the field of battle. Sheridan has settled the mooted question of who gave the order for the troops in the Battle of Chattanooga to climb Missionary Ridge, He said Thomas's orders were to-take the intrenchm ents at the foot of the ridge; that he and his Brigade commanders discussed the condition they would be in under the direct fire of the rebel line "above,-and he gave the order to his-brigade commanders to take the foot of the hill and then go for the main rebel line on the top of the ridge. Before giving this order he had sent ahead to the Corps Commanders for more definite orders. He returned after they were climbing the ricge, with orders to halt at the foot, and his aide had stopped one of his regiments; but when he saw the men climbing the slope he took the responsibility and ordered them-to go on up which shows that the state ment that the men went on up without orders is hot correct. Sheridan on taking the ridge kept on after the enemy,"and after night had fallen he found th t he had.no support. He returned to his Corps Commander an. asked for the Corps to follow him, so that he could reach Chickamauga Station, where all the enemy's stores were packed, and so that they would also be in the rear'-)f that portion of Bragg's army t.at.had confronted Sherman; but he was only promised support in the.event that he met the enemy. He returned and went on to Chickamauga Creek; where, finding he had no support he halted for t. e night, and discovered"that Bragg's army passed the station after daylight. If Gordon Granger with his corps or even a part of it had supported him, they would have captured or destroyed that part of Bragg's Army, As it was Sheridan took some 1700 prisoners, considerable artillery and many wagons. General Granl reached Sheridan the next day and saw what could have been accomplished had Sheridan been supported. It was tnis movement and the ag-resalve action of Sheridan that caled Grant's particular attentio to him, and it. caused his taking him to the Army of the Potomac when he was made General-ln-chief in commfind of all the armies. i> i 'i' 278 1908. - ■ Whan General Grant returned from Washington, in liarch, 1864 after he had received his promotion to the rank of Lieutenant General, he called a number of the officers to meet him in Nashville, and proposed to take some of them East with him. Sherman protested, stating that the officers who were accustomed to that army would do better in it than in any other; and finally Sherman and Grant concluded that he shotild takd Sher'dan. Wih le Grant was at Nashville he outlined to us his plans for the campaign of 1864, stating that every army of the United States was to move on a certain day and ,to attack the army in its front, so that the enemy could not take fro'm one army lying idel to reinforce another army fighting us, as had often been the case; heretofore when we had one army fighting whild the others were lying still, as by our former tactics, the enemy was enabled to place as many fight-ng'men in the field as we could. General Grant took Sheridan with him and placed him in command of the Cavalry Corps of the Army of the Potomac, Sheridan had very distinct views as to how cavalry .should be handled when he got there, and went to see General Meade. He endeaovred to bring Meade to his views. Sheridan found the cavalry there doing picket duty for the whole army, -and stretche out for sixty miles without a confederate cavalryman facing them. General Sheridan thought the cavalry troops should be mobilized and made a fight- .ing Corps, and'he sent out to take care of the enemy's cavalry and go into battle with the rest of the army. That was entirely different ■from the methods theretofore proposed, an-: General I.Ieade.held to the old ^ ideas. - Sheridan could not bring Meade to liis views; therefore he had to do the best he could under the c'rcumstanoes, -He had under him four Divisions commanded by regular army OJfacers, and unt^l after the Battih of t e Wilderness that cavalry force was used in the advance and upon the flanks of the army and did not accomplish much. But when Gran, moved his army to the left, endeavoring to get between Lee and Richmond, he ordered Sheridan tn occupy two strategic positions in advance of the infantry and hold them at all hazards. Meade, not knowiing Grant's orders, saw Sheridan's disposit'on of the command, thougl^t it was too exposed and moved two of his divisions. This enabled Lee \Tithout opposition to occupy the positions that Sheridan had been ordered to hold, and then our army had to f^ght for and retake them. Sheridan considered it a reflection upon him. He went to see Meade and protested against.his action. Meade ifa« quick-tempered, and SJaeridan was also; they had very hot words, and finally the question coming up, Sheridan said he would not give the Cavalry another order unless he cou'd have absolute command of it; that he (Meade) could hereafter handle the cavalry. Meade brought up the work of the Confederate cavalry under Stuart, and Sheridan said to him ,''lf you w» 11 let me loose, T will wt)pe the earth up with Sttart." Meade wentover to aee.General Grant and complained of Sheridan, and told Grant th-at Sheridan had said that if they would give him comm;^nd of his Corps of cavalry he would wipe the earth wHh Stuart. "Did Slcridan say that?" fThen why dpn't yoii let him do it?" said Grant, and on the very next day Sheridan received iiis orders and made his celebrated ^ march to the rear of Lee, destroying his communication, fighting-with ^ Stuart and his entire cavalry c rps, achiev'ing- great victories and killing Stuart, 279 190Q. . i When T went to City Point in Novemlbef ,1864 j to vi sit'General Grant, he told me of Sheridan's great success in command'of the cavalry troops of the Army of the Potomac, and said that Sheridan on the field was the best General he had ever seen. He declared he was equal and fit for the highest coionand. • General Grant also told me of the mistakes and disasters In the Shenandoah Valley, and the use Lee made of Early to scare Washington iintil he (grant) saw that he must select some on'^ of his best officers to make a campaign in the valiey,• When he selected General Sheridan the .President and Secretary Stanton both objected, saying that Sheridan was too young and 'nexperienced; but they gave way to Grant's judgment, and Sheridan s first movement down the valley was so careful and conservative that it showed liim to have,the qual-'ties of a great General. His first movement was against Early, who retreated before his forces and refused • to give battle until he reached Fisher's Hillji a very strong position; his falling back was to meet reinforcements coming from Lee. • -As soon as Sheri dan saw this he showed great prudenee, and fell back himself to H lit-wn, where he took up a posit'or. in which-a smaller force could hold against a larger one, and remaining there unt'l Lee was forced by the action of Grant to send for the forces he had sent Early, ks soon as Sheridan discovered this he maneuvered so that Early had to stand ' and fight, and the battles of Winchester and Fisher's Hill followed, where Sheridan defeated and made-great captures from Early's army. These tattles occurred just before the National elect'on for President. They had a ver;- beneficial effect on the political canvass, and brought great relief to President Lincoln, who sent a very cordial dispatch to Slieridan and promoted him to the rank of Brigadier General in the regular army. Following this came the celebrated Battle of Cedar Creek, where, in the presence of Sheridan, the enemy planned anattack'on the Union army, turning its left-'-nd rear. The enemy met with great success unt'l Sheridan arrived on the ground and took command, rallying'his forces and winning a great victory. 'e,captured many prisoners'and much artillery and transportation. For this great victory he was made a Major General in the regular army. This ended the campaign in the valley unt'l March, 1835. ■When Sheridan with his c valry attacked Early, capturing the forces he had left,only Early and a few others escaped. Early, with a single companion, reached Richmond; they were the last of that celebrated Confederate army of the S..enandoah Valley. Tn March, Slnridan, with his . cavalry forces, jo'ned Grant in front of Petersburg, and was given command of n separate army, reporting directly to Brant. He immediately started out to turn Lee's army on the right, winning the battles oT Dinwiddie, Court House, Five Forks, lettersville, Sa'lor's Creek, and, finally, Appamottox. where, by his bold Energetic maneuvers, he finally got in front of Lee s retreatin" orray and forced 't to final surrender. Grant immedi-?tely sent Sheridan to the command of the south-west, instructing him to place a stron force oh the R'o Grande river, border ing MexicoV Grant beli '-'^ved that the French invasion of Mexico was a part of the rebellion, and that we should dr've Maximillioh and his French army out of Mexico, and Gheridan|s instructions clearly 'ndicated this. The private letters from Grant to Sheridan made it plain to Sheridan what was to be done, and he prepared to.carry out rrant's views; but Secretary of State Seward was oppobed to Grant's plans, fearing 280 1908. complications with foreign povvers, and stopped Grant's plans, and Sheridan's movements for nearly a ye r, when the frenc;> troops were withdra\7n. At this t^me T was in command of the De .artment of the Missouri, and Grant's plan contemplated a movement from New Mexico into the States of Chihualiua and Sonora. This part of the plan that I was to carry out contemplated the occupation of those states and that Mexico would turn them over to us for the part to he taken hy us in adding President Juarez in expelling the French army. General Sherman, in explaining it to me,,said that "V/hlle l would carry out my orders, my idea is that when you get there you had better try to sell them New Mexico than to obtain any of old Mexico." S..eridan's management of the difficult position of trying to help the Liberals of Mexico and not infringing upon the French occupation, and at the same time comply with Secretary Seward's peaceful policy, was very able and successful. He aiided the President wi tl. arms , ammunition, etc.,.so that he recovered from the FBencn all of Nortl: Mexl oo< and organized an amry that soon captured MaximilHon, as Napoleon withdrew the Frencli army, deserting Maxiraillion and leaving hn'm with no army except rebel Mexicans. When Sheridan was sent to New Crleans and a subservient countenance of dishonest methods was required (6f him, in a protest whlc this drew from him with reference to the conduct of rovernor Wells, .he wrote to the Secretary of War, "T say again that he is dishonest, and that dishonesty is more than must be expected of me." Ten ■years afterwards he wrote to General Sherman from Chicago: "I am and always have been faithful In thought and word to my lawful commanders, oven independent of the warm personal friendship and admiratiopi T have for you. T have been repaid for all this by fairness in the exercise of your authority, and by reciprocal friend ship. T have built up my present _di vi si on, and have been o-^nnected •with the great development of the"country west of tne Mississippi River by protecting every interest so far as in my power and in a fair and honorable way, without acquiring a single personal interest to mar or blur myself or my profession." Sheridan spent the years"of 1868 and 1869 in command of the Department of the Missouri, and on ti.e Southern"pla-"ns in campaigns against the Soutliorn Cheyennos, Arappalioes, Apaches and Kiowas and finally located them on reservations in th ■ Indian territory. The very day that Grant was inau'-qirated he appointed Sheridan a Lieutenant General Sheridan received this appointment while inspecting some o. his nortl.ern points in Montana, and upon receiving the telegram of his ppointment he said, after reading the dispatch and turning to the Staff Officers, "Boys, you will have to address me as Lieutenant General now#" Tl.eir hats all went up at once. The Government sent General Slieridan t6 Europe during, the German-French 'Jar as its representative, and he joined the German Army in the field T.d viewed all the great battles of thkt war under the moat favorable conditions. T have never seen any official report from him of this service and his observations, but he has said in comparing their armies with outs: "T am fully satisfied that there is no nation in Europe which has so perfect ;m army system as ourselves; they have more perfect systems fcr raising troops, but T am satisfied their staff systems are not as good as ours. T find that but little can be learned here to ship. T wi bh■the River by fair and report in which 3W1 281 1908. benefit our" service. We are far ahead In skill and campaign organ''zation. Euroep is far ahead of us onl^r ''n the military organization that makes nearly every man a soldier and the facility of that organ ization Is quickly uttlng hundreds of thousands into the field. So far as. organization for reclothing, transportation of supplies, and general comfort.of troops re concerned, we are so far ahead as to make comparison ridiculous," General Sheridan, had no faculty of speakin,:' in public. He was a fine conversationalist, however, and In talking of the Civil War and criticizing our movements. Including his owr, showed a very analytical' mind and a just judgment. He had no use for the military principles that were handed down by some of our strategi3ts--that our armies sh-^^uld not fight two great battles at one t^"me. He thought and acted u on the principle ti;at our campa^"gns "shauld be continuous, and that, every one of our armies should move at the same time, so as to keep the enemy from concentrating upon any one of our armi'es in a' campaign while the other was idle. Of- the private soldier he held the" highest opinion, and it was his devotion to and care fot? them that made them so loyal to him. In a talk to comrades at Creston, Towa, General Sheridan said: "I want to say to y u, comrades, tl:ls: that T am Indebted to the private sold-'er for all of this credit that has come to me. He is the man who did the fighting, and the man who carried the musket is the greatest hero of the war, in my opinion. T was nothing but an agent, T knew how to take care of him; T knew what a soldier was worth; and T knew how to study the country so as to out him in the right. I knew how to put him In a battle when one occurred, but T was simply tie agent to take care of hi:..; he did the work. Now, comrades, these are commonsense t.ilngs, and T can't say them in very flowing language, but they are true nevertheless, and they are true not of me alone, but of everybody else. It is to the common soldier that we are Indebted for any credit that came to us. There are many men here to ay who served in the field with me, and It is a greatpleasure to me to find them out; and they have been very kindly in their remarks to me. Tlhile they were with me T certainly did all T could for them. I often laid awake planning for their welfare, and T never killed a man unnecessarily. You may kill as many men as you choose, if you give them an equivalent for the loss. Men do not like to be killed for nothin;. They do not like to have their heads rammed against a stone wall unless for some good result. Whenever T took men int battle T gave them victory .as the result of the engagement, and that was always satisfactory," Is it any wonder that General Grant wrote of this man: "As a c mmander of troops, as a man capable of doing all that is possible with any nvimber of men, there is no man living greater than Sheridan. I rank }.lm with Ihipoleon, and the rreat captains of History, 'le had n magnetic quality of swa^ In ■ men which T wish T had," Sheridan was looked upon by many officers and citizens simply as an Impetuous, reckless soldier, full of dash, gallant to the extreme of rasliness; in short, simply a splendid specimen of the cavalry officer of the Murat order. There never was a greater mistake made. Impetlous he was, certainly, but it was only impetitous execution of del'berate and well-consldored plans: Tn all his life he did not do any 282 1908. • impetuous act without•careful cons^deration beforehand. Neither in civil administration- ^-n time of peace, nor in the roar and fury of battle, did he'ever act except on-well-defined lines and clearij defined purpose.' . . ^ , .-u HVhet T have written shows you better txan I can descr-be his nrincinal traits of character--the traits that made his military prorress such a continuous success. As T look at^it -today Sheridan simply Brew from experiences. First, he had the instinct and love of a soldier. He was educated for the service, and early learned ohe science of war; the great stratesy-; the lof^^y" sties; the transportation and' commissary departments; and he had the t in him that, when opportunity offered, he developed all of them successfully. He. was a natural leader of men; had a fine eye for topocraphy and. the select ing of strong posit;'ens, and, above all, he kept fully posted what the enemy was do'ng and was remarkable for the information he got and its correctness. He had a great magnetism. Cn the field he never hesitated to-attack, no matter what forces were before him, and above all he had faith 'n himself and a great faith in his men. He was a born soldier. ^ • :: .. ▼ ..J I v; oj (tJ Jn£\t t* ♦ f.r .r n 1.? oann r a t JorfJ to '' tm*bloc «c5j I i f oslJ bvHfSO Oiir oili bn« » , acfi b*h o Iw n#t« .J OB 4tfcf "nV Jon turn T •nAfrrtqB xk o* ,ibw Bdii to oiotl tB a»« no'bXoe b .♦-'dtr wfni t |»» lo o«i«o otmi o3 wo worrrf V wii>i T ./ii- odJ n* tftil iir oJ «• ob vbo^it o.t v^ort T etj 'Jgrti'h BOO ▼ .'ucf ,t7oiioi)0o ono no.lw nISJo4 b nf Jirj oi wod M9 iv' ,eobiit«do ^woTI otfi bfb o> | in onr^O oini o4 " r;r\rwt nn'won «*iov o* • .f J^ruio f boM Mn* J oartncrioflMnO ono J(/' ,nrioXa OA to JcM mitti onr o J bftM iBonXoiH^ooon otfii Bi ' '^ihi Jtfdl 10'^ PuJdBho* o«iB •» JftiW inViXoi. /lOoittOo o .i i ••J;Xo Yb' to b^Y U'ta w Btod nnai f ©nwiT .«i; oi moo JntiS Jft.mo tii« mn.ii InH 'J oa oncfOBoXqwont'i a J > brtn ,•« vJ*rn bfr.ft o. i n» dJ'.f .e»fl i 8ilt«an*i i»oHi n* ovwd v;oh.i bii-» | T • n <4 bi^oo t fin xfrfpSnwo f om ilJ »w onnw v«vij r» i r. rt owmtw (1JLA r ftBrftiC T Snn .on IXb*. tfOilJ iol -n'n. iq #vim»n ,;f!f«X»ivfui'o urn tf .ij 9vf act t* |Or»«fiQ now tft (wm mm ro jj»:i ^ udf Jntr ->h • /I' Woo int bnlXM od oJ m*!

T am entering into an aggrernent with the Swenson syndicate, and which was approved by the Executive Committee this afternoon. You will see that in lieu of a partnership on the interest, to be settled every six months or every year during a five year period, I succeeded in settling that feature beforehand. It was evident to me, upon reflection, that semi-annual or annual settlements of earnings or expenses might lead to a great many differences of opinion. You know from your recollection, of the (Jault-Tucker award on the Gould lines, and from your long experience otherwise how many differences of opinion may arise about divisions of rates, a division of common expenses, etc., etc. I figure the interest on 75 miles of road as follows C&S R.%E Bonds, say ^1,500,000 face value at per annum, u67,500 per year, equivalent, in five years, to ^337,500 One-half of which would be 168,750 We estimate the cash subsidies at ^40,000, which, added to the .^125,000 to be received from the Swenson syndicate, will make vl65,000. The .f'165,000 cash thus received would itself earn interest for an average period of, say, two and one-half years, which would make its value over *180,000. Besides this, we are to have a 48^ interest in the townsite company. It is impossible to tell beforehand what this is worth but it will be worth something, We haven't yet settled on a program for a more thorough investigation of the country north of Orin Junction but I am working on it. I think it would be a very Important strategic move, but I do not think it probable that we could seil $12,000,000 face value of bonds soon at ninety. They ought to be quoted in the market at a higher figure and I am working on that feature all the time here trying to help create a good impression concerning them, but of course, 12,000,000 more outstanding would not help the price of those which are already out. Business over Trinity ^ Brazos Valley is good. October gross earnings were *240,195.25 and Balance Available for interest was ,,'44,393.89. The interest accrued for the month was $52,575.76. November gross earnings are better than October, and indications are that there will be a surplus over interest this month. I received a letter from ''■Tr. Jones and also from Mr. Keeler concerning the Vernon project and have suggested to both of them that I would like to have Mr. Jones keep close to it. The letters did not indicate what their objective point would be, but if it should be in Dickens country I think it would help us. Mr. Keeler expressed some apprehension about the effect on our interests if it should be acauired by the Frisco, but I do not think there is much menace in that direction I hope this arrangement with the Gwenson syndicate will please you, and with love and affection from both "Irs. Trumbull and myself I am as ever. Sincerely yours. General G. M. Dodge, Frank Trumbull Council Bluffs, Iowa. P.S. We are endeavoring to keep quiet the fact that the C&S will get behind the construction above Stamford. F.T. I hope this a you, and with love and and I am as ever. General G. M.

Huntington, son of the late Henry D. Huntlngton of the 2nd U. 8. C-i^valry, who died at the age of 36, was graduated from West Point in 1876, served under General Crook in the TndTan campaigns, was v/ell-known in the army and was al.so well-known by the citizens of Iowa, is confined to a wheeled chair and has been for several years, being unable to walk. He is, however, of fine mind and energy and grad uated with credit from the Masschusetts Institute of Technology, two years ago. He is now filling a position as draughtsman in the Architec tural Department ^n the Treasury Bu'lding ^n Washington, pending his taking the civil service examination which he is anx ous to take but on account of his physical infirmaties, which do not fttterfere with his work in the position he is now filling, he is refused the privilege of going before the Board of the Commission, and his fr^" ends are told tliat the only way that he can retain his position is for the President to place him under civil service without examination. If you have that power and are disposed to exercise it, this is a case I think whore It would not only bo a benefit to the y mg man, would not be a detriment to the service, and would be a recognition of his father's service in the army. This yo\ing man T Am told is very bright and could ^ill many other posit'ons besdies the one he is now fill'ng. Representative J.A,T.Hull T think knows of h^m.

I shall work faithfully along the lines of our talk when you .ere here. I cannot, of course, forget my old friends and wren it comes to the distribution of what little patronage may fall to my hands I must give them in many cases the preference, not, however, to the exclusion of other-s who have been honestly and decently oposed to me, I have no doubt but that I will be able to restore harmoney to the party in Iowa. It will not come in a minute because local conditions have been affected and the local struggle for supremacy will continue for sonie time, I earnestly hope that you will take enough interest in me to see me from time to tine to give me the benefit of your ripe experience with respect to the niatters w..ich will come from time to ti.e before Congress. I am not pigheaded, and I hope not big-headed, and I believe that ^ have courage enough to do what I think is right. I am, With my best wishes for your health and happ^iness. Yours cordially.

November, 1908, Council Bluffs, Iowa, 289 November 08, 1908, My dear Bather Bherman: We had/a fine meeting in Bt.T.ouis, and Oumph's address on his father's l-^st year's campaign is one of the best ever read before our Bociety. Every one there was greatly pleased with it. Oump is so modest and he was absolutely astonished and overwhelmed at the reception it received. There is so much in it that people ought to know. I told him and have written him to have 2000 copies of it printed so it could be sent out. Of course, it will appear in our records, but very few see it there, and it should go to every library and all the patriotic societies. I can send out a great many copies of it myself to persons to whom it will be of great value. At our first business meeting on the 11th I re,ad your letter to me relating to the appointment of Anthony F. Bacon to West Point, and the Society unanimously requested to add their re,quest for the aopointment to mine. Big't after the meeting I wrote a letter to President Taft enclosing your letter to me and the letter of the Society and added ray personal request, and I enclose you President Taft's answer, which after you have read please return to me. When you corae back this way I hope you will stop over and see me. The scr^-ices at the Cemetary were very appropriate and toiiching. The tribute of Dr. Nichols was very fine and greatly pleased every one. The whole Society was out and many others all of which I know will be interesting to you. No doubt Gump has written you by this time. T am. Truly and cordially. Rev. Thos. E. Sherman, 314G Evanston Av., Chicago, 111. Grenville M. Dodge. •• '( '.'Nf,' -a . \ '♦ . si- 1, . "1 .

My Dear General:- It was very kind of you to write and Mrs. Grant and I are delighted to think that we are near you here, where we shall hope to see you often in our home. I regretted extremely not to have been able to attend the Reunion of the Army of the Tennessee in St. Louis, and to hear "Cumppy" Sherman's paper which I am sure was fine, and I am glad you remembered me to the Companions of the Army of the Tennessee. We were touched with the kindness of friends at Governor's Island and in New York City, when we were leaving, but we find many good friends here and have established ourselves in a comfortable and happy home where we hope to see you and yours often.

It is indeed, in one sense, the best protection document I have seen of late, since he advocates protection as Hamilton and clay did, where necessary to build up a business, He believes tliat when the business is self-sustaining it should be dropped, believes in only helping to build up such business as is likely to be self-sustaining, and that tariffs should be levied on luxuries, in other words, the rich should aay it. He is right all through. Iron and steel no longer need portection in this coxontry. v»e can make it cheaper here than anywliere else, i had a talk with Mr. Carnegie last spring, Itr t before he went to Europe, in which he outlined this article promising it before oongrcss should meet, i agreed with him than and 1 a- ree with him now.

After discussing the question of a program with the President of the Society and the Board of Directors, it was decided to invite you to address the members on that evening. We were convinced that we could select no representative of the engineering pro fession in this country who could present to us reminiscences of early engineering and railroad construction better than yourself. It was also decided to invite Mr. Frank Trumbull, President of the Colorado and South ern Railroad Co., to talk in the railroad situationoof today. We appreciate that man who has such demand on his energies as your self cannot be secured for such a function unless some very good.reason oan be advanced. Our argument is that the Western Society of Engineers, which comprises one-thousand members, has not been favored in many years with the presence of any of the pioneer railroad builders, and we feel that the time is now opportune to call upon you as representative of those men of strong character and perserving energy, who, almost single-handed, went out upon the plains and amongst the mountains of the west for the pur pose of advancing American civilization and growth of the commerce of our country. We shall greatly appreciate your considering our invitation for you to be our guest on January 5th, and to get your name and reminiscences ♦published in our proceedings. We shall feel highly honored if favored with an acceptance at an early date. Yours respectfully, jjorris K. Trumbull. Chairman Entertainment Committee.

Christy, a member of the clerical force engaged in transcribing the rosters, received a letter the other day of which the inclosed is a copy. He had heard incidently of the erection of a monument to the memory of this man Davis and wrote Mr. Kenedy about it. It reminded me of the numerous instances of devotion alluded to in your recent address here, wherein brave men on both sides paid the penalty of their lives while seeking information that would be of advantage to the Generals who sent them forth upon the perilous quest. Mr. Christy's regiment was on duty at the time of the execution and as he remembers it, thinks you were in command, of the troops stationed at Pulaski at that time. He tells me it was understood at the time that the young man Davis had upon his person the papers which had been passed to him by another who was the real spy and who was captured shortly afterwards. That young Davis might have saved his own life by stating the facts, but refused to do so. However, that may be, Christy says Davis showed great bravery upon the scaffold. He does not know the details of the capture which Kennedy requests him to give. Yours very truly, G. W. Crosley. (Copy of enclosure) (COPY) November 27, 1908, Mr, W. D.

Yes, Sam Davis is the boy that was hanged at Pulaski, Tenn., and I am the one who came from his father's and mother's home| and took the body up and took it to his home, and to whom the Chaplain probably of your regiment, who was with Sam at the gallows and to hwom' Sam gave his little memorandum bood with a written good bye to his mother and the buttons off of his coat to his sisters. The ChanlSkin gfve them to me to take to them, which I did. ' Every body in the Army at Pulaski was kind to me when they found out I was after the body of Sam Davis, and to think that a soldier who was present at his death, now ^5 years ago, should so kindly offer to have his and his comrades names put in the corner stone 3C0 of his nonument by a contribution, its not money we are afte.r so much as the sentiment, that he was an American born boy^ and was ^BxnQ unto death, and every American honors another who is brave, no natter which side he was on, and yot^r quick and kind response shows it. • , _ ^ will sincerely appreciate any recollections of the event, write it to me in full, your memory of what occured, what was said and done. One thing that has never been told is how he was captured, the details, was he asleep or was he betrayed by some one with whom he stayed. ,4 . . .rt ' Yours truly,. John C.

Bear Sir:- Yours of Nov. 3Gth forwarded to me here. T havd moved my private office from New York here to my old home, and spend most of my time here. My railroad office is at 71 Broadway, New York. I have not seen Mr. Carne':^ie for some time. Tf I were in New York it would give me great pleasure to go and visit him with you. I was glad to see his statement on the tariff. T doubt, however if t:.ey take all the tariff off steel. Of course it would be a help to our roads if they did—especially the steel rails. I hope they will make the proper reduction in the tariff, but wl.en T do not meet a single person that is not interested in something that he wants pro tection on, T have my doubts in the ability of congress to "face the music." OOf course, the east wants the tariff off wools and hides and products of the soil generally, but the west is absolutely opposed to it and will make a strong fight against it, and a member of congress is bound to follow the washes of his constitutents. I hope it will bring about a revision that will make a reduction on everything but luxuries, but T doubt it. No matter what they do, I feel sure many will be dissat'sfied, and that we will be in danger of losing the next Congress. It is possible that settling the question early and having it applied for a couple of years before another election that people may see the benefits of it, and it may not do the harm they expect. If you happen to come this way I should be glad to have you make me a visit, "hen you see Mr. Carnegie, extend to him my best wftshes for good health and long life. I do n6t suppose it would do any good for me to try to induce him to come so far west, but he would get a great reception from the people here, ^e is like me, he doa not care to go only where hd is obliged to, and does not like to do that.

My dear General Some one has been kind enough to send me some printed monographs and addresses m.ade by or concerning you and yovir work in the Middle West. Assuming that you are responsible for this favor I am writing this note of thanks for miaterial which I shall prize very highly; not only because it comes from you but because of the historical and biographical merit of the reproductions. Some of this I had not seen before; and it will prove a very valuable ad dition to my lowana Library, which I am trying to make as complete as possible. I shall be glad to have anything else relating to the early history of Iowa or Nebraska which you can command for me. There is a wealth of material awaiting the pen of some scholar with leisure and the necessary passion along these lines to be fashioned into a most stately and interesting epic. I wish my dear general that I might say the worX which would induce you to write an autobidjgraphy of your life. I have had to extract pages from it gather4d in a fragmentary way and I think I know how important it has been. The events thereof should be preserved in permanent form. As one of the Trustees of the Historical Department of the Gtate, I wish to thank you for having sent us your letters and correspondence, and I trust you will not let anv of it escape. I have been through a little of it with Mr, Harlan", and know what a wealth of historical material we have. I shall be glad to meet you at your office some time when we both have a little leisure to go over those plats, and surveys of which you spoke. It was a source of much gratification to find you at the meeting of the Pottawattamie County Historical Society last Saturday evening; and to have your words of commendation. I need only say that in so far as the paper related to you, it was not prepared for that occasion nor did I know that you would be present. It was read just as delivered to the State Historical Society of Nebraska at its meeting last January, Let me say that some of the material was obtained from Dr. Miller of Omaha, who I need scarcely say is a warm friend of yours, and who knows the value of your work. • With all good wishes for you and yours, I remain.

I happened to take a subject in which everyone ic interested. About thirty years ago I was writing for newspapers and magazines, and having to fiarnish copy for an article on the following morning, and having nothing specially digested, out of sheer despera tion I wrote my recollections of the "March to the Sea." Another was at once called for, and another, and finally they Iqjt me grinding out war stories and reminiscences—not my own—for three months, and it started the avalanch of war literature which followed, it happened to be the psychological moment when intere t in the great war had revived.

The same issue contains a viev/ of the Grant Memorial and the (to me ) pleasing information that j'-ou are the President of the Commission of Construction. That issue is invaluable to me as it gives the only photograph I have ever been able to secure of yourself since the close of tlie war. Generr;l, I have often wondered v/hether you have forgotten a little incident which occurred at our Rolla- barracks, which to me personally, was one of the most import-nt events of the war. On dress parade that evening it was ray duty to call out ray regular report as to t!:e condition of Company "A". Upon this occasion it was "Company "A" all present or accounted for, except Deland Haines and Benjamin F. Tabor, who are absent without leave." That night they attempted to assassinate me with sling shots after I had retired for the night, i have alway considered that your prompt action was the cause of saving my life afterward, as both of them, after being arrested, had sworn to kill me upon sight and then desert the service. Immediately after this the campaign against Gen. Price commenced and both Haines and Tabor made their threat* prevented me from preferring charges as to their We ai-e all old men now.

Dod^e, Baldwin Block, Co. Bluffs, Iowa. Dear General Your letter of Dec. 7th received, enclosing a circular letter from Theodore Kharas in regard to the Mobile Car Sign Company. My attention has been called to this thing before, and the invention fts a clever one. As to its adoption by Street Rail.v/ay Companies, I have no knowledge of what the prospect may be, but could verj'- easily ascertain, as Mr. Scott is attorney for the Company that controls most of the street car advertising in the country from TTew York to Frisco. I hardly think the matter is worth investigation however, as I am agraid the owners and promoters are trying to make a fortune out of the sale of stock instead of the profits of the invention. A few weeks ago, I read in the papers that Kharas had been arrested or sued for some deal arising out of the sale of stock. I will try to find the article before mailing this letter and enclose it. I am afraid the outfit is crooked, but I will make further inquiries, and if I am wrong, I will write you. There are a couple of matters here in Omhha that I intended to bring to your notice, if the opportunity offered, but I have written Mr. Whitney fully in regard to them, and cannot put it up to any one else until I hear from>him. Mr. Scott and I put up our Sioux City proposition to him and he took it up, so we felt that we were under obligations to give him first chance at this new proposition here in Omaha. We have been negotiating for two months for 160 acres of land immediately West of Omaha joining Dundee and Benson. Several of the prom.tnient Firms in Omaha and many investors have tried to buy this land for the past five or six years, but we think we have finally got it, or at least a threefourths interest in it, and we will either buy the remaining onefourth interest, or have it subdivided. In my opinion it is a sure think, and will be as profitable as Hpmestead, if not better. If Mr. Whitney is not in a position to swing it for us, I will come and see you, for I feel that it is too good a thing to let go outside the family. Our plan is to put it on the market in the spring on the terms of ^1.00 down and 50 cents a week. I have no doubt that.Mr. Flack, President of the City Savings Bank, and .my partner in the .Homestead deal, will swing it, if I give him the opportunity, but if "ou want to go in, we can swing it Wfcth you, if you have some money to invest. The other thing that I would like to talk to you about is the car line to Papillion. Heretofore, I have not been very confident about this proposition, as I knew what the experience generally had been in these lines, and I knew that if the Omaha and Council Bluffs Street Railway Company, with all its wealth and influence, should fight us, it would make a rough road for 'he line to Papillion. We have been up against the proposition of disposing of our Bonds, and it looks as if it would be necessary for the Construction Company to raise enough money to brild the line and have work actually going on, or the rails laid, before local investors would invest in Bonds. Last week, the President of the Company, who is manager of o; e of the newspspers here, and is a hustling man, with an excellent record. V f* w had an interview with Wattles, President of the Omaha Street Railway. He and Mr. Wattles are close friends, and the la.tter has always advised, hira to his interest. He told Mr. Uhl, President of the Company, that we had an excellent proposition, and would make money; that more over, he would assure him a traffic arrangement on a very equitable basis, so that the cars on the interurban line could run through South Omaha dnd loop in the center of Omaha. He found that we were about to make, a contract wi.th the Electric Light Company for power and light, as we have contracts to furnish light and power in Ralston and Papillion. He asked us not to ma ke a contract with the Electric light Company, as the Street Car company would give us as good, if not better figures, and furnisji'us ::all:*the. power we need to operate our cars, and fulfill our contracts for power and light in Ralston and Papillion. Mr. Wattles' co-operation and indirectly his influence will undoubtedly make this line to Papillion a success, and I believe that if we get the road built, we will not only make, some money in building it, Kn+ "ho "ir*. a + rvKt +r\ foT SXijGnljl. OH S ^ - j W — * sJ WC Jk dU uy but be in a position to float bond issues for extentions of the road to Elkhorn, '''illard. Valley and Fremont. Now two-fffths interest of the Contruction company has not been sold, and the three-fifths that have been sold can probabl-^r be purchased at a very low figure. In other-words, all our franchises, right of way and contracts in Ralston and Papillion can be purchased at a very reasonable figure, and our engineers tell us that we can put the road in op.eration, between South Omaha and Papillion, with one or two cars, for ^50,000. Ve can buy our power to operate from the Street Car Company, and run our cars over their lines through South Omaha and Omaha. I am now so confident that the thing can be made a success merely in building a rood, that I put the matter up to Mr. Whitney to ■ see if he was in a position to come out and look it over and see if there was any money in it. I realize that you are not able to take-ud such matters, but possibly you know some younger man like Morgan Jones, who could come here and work with Mr. Ohl and myself in getting control of this Construction Company, and own the road. The profit on building a road is large enough to make it worth while, and the prospect of still further profit in operating the road and extending it is good. Mr. Wattles has said so, and his judgment is excellent, and his motive is absolutely sincere towards Mr. Uhl. I j will senad you a Prospectus rrospectus of this road. If you know of any one, who could come here and put in some money, I believe there is money to be made in it. I have no ambition to build the road mvself. as I have a good deal of work cut out the coming year in platting ad ditions. I know that business and altho I may not always make a big bunch of money, one cannot lose, as he always has the land left and can at least sell enough lots to pay for it. Please keep t^is matter confidential. Very truly yours, A.R. N. P. Dodge, Jr. 'Kg ■; v'i: , 327 Franklin Square, New York. December 10, 1908. Dear Oeneral Dodge We have your kind letter of December seventh in regard to tne matter of the articles v/hich we are trying to obtain on the work of the Secret Service during the Civil War. We fully ap reciate the position which you take in the matter, yet we are venturing to make another suggestion, we would, of course, not wish to print anything involving persons now living which could possibly reflect to their discredit, or make things unp] easant for them. A'^t the same time, it seems to us possible that there may rbe still living, as you suggest, men who took part in this very important, and to oxu? mind very heroic service who at this late day would have no reason for objection to their stories being made public. You understand, of course, that it is our purpose to present anything rather tlian the ignominious side of the spy's career. We wish, where it can be done consistently with the truth, to pre sent these men as heroes whose deeds have never been made oublic. With tils understanding, would it not be possible for you to give us the names and addresses of some of these men who you say are still living, with the definite understanding that nothing about them shall be published without their consent and absolute agreement, -^nd that in approaching them in regard to the matter, these facts be pu'. clearly before them? Of course, it is quite probablp that men living in the South during the War furnished information to the Northern Armies might still, for very obvious reason, prefer to keep silent ' but there are there not others living in variousrarts of the corntrv who have no reason for similar feeling? Kby asking Incidentally, if it would be might possible we further for you intrude to furnish upon your us with kindness th^ "ho «ro in charge of tS SeSersImcf Of other divisions of the army during the War? letter, ipt + .r, and may we beg to r'ssuro youior you you that kind if reply you would to our prefer earlierto have conversation on this subject rather than corresponLnce ^e -hall CO to Council BiulfHr-e^vou even though you cannot definitely promise to give him onv ^ m-terial assistance before further discussionof the mattL?

Dear Sir: I am in receipt ofyour letter relative to Wichita Valley Railway securities held by Mrs. Pullman. For each bond, with the stock acconi,anying i-t, Mrs. Pullman will receive $900. in cash, or in thebonds of a railroad company whose bonds are seli.ing at near ly par, and which earns and pays dividends upon portions of its stock. Te are not at liberty at this tine to give the nam.e of the smpany because it is under agreement not to issue any additional bonds until 1908. When these bonds are tturned over to them if the company pre fers to give bonds rather than cash we will receive the bonds at the price averaging on the Stock Exchange lor thirty days prior to delivery. If bonds are given Mr.. Pullman can sell them at a price, therefore, which will bring her .-|J900. in cash for bond with stock as stated above, I wish to say to you confidentailly that there is no question about this security, andthe matter will probably be closed up long before 1908. I enclose youa copy of our circular letter. The receipt for the bonds and stock,which will be put in safe deposit, will be signed by the same parties thatsign the cir'cular. Comniencing January 1, 1906, while the securities remain in our hands Mrs. Pullman will receive 4^ interest upon the par value of the bonds. As you are aware, these bonds are now drawing but 5^, and in fact the roaa has never earned more than that. This is a very favor&ble sale of the securities. Very truly yours, Grenville M.

They agreed as T understand, to pay him ono thousand dollars and he willing to take that in notes of $250 each payable yearly, he to turn over to the \iniversity the copyright, etc. I have agreed to put up the m-^ney to publ-'sh another voluem and turn over the University the copyright of the volume on condition that the university will allow me to use its name in obtain'ng much data, etc. as I need and also that it will furnish Mr. Ellsl all the information and all the data which they have that can be used for the second volume and will second his efforts in getting up the public ation and also that they shall take it as the authorized history of the university and advertise it in its publications and recommend it to the alumni and past cadets. My idea is to get it out within a year or at least eighteen months and Ellis will devote his whole time to it. I believe t at with the support of the university and the friencliness of the alumni to me, we can make a success of the volume and that it will pay its way. Won't you take the matter up immediately with the Trustees and get their action on the matter an hav'-^ tl.em give me the authority for the use of the name of the tiniversity in carrying out the work? Let me hear from you on this as soon as possible. T am. Tznily, G. M. Dodge, ConncH Bluffs, Dec. 14, 1908, Gen, James S. Clarkson, Custom House, New York City, Dear S'r:- I am in receipt of your letter appointing the committee for the Allison statue. The committee ■'s all r-'ght so far as the eafet is concerned but it will be impossible for me to do much of anything with t,.at committee. You will have to take that committee as ex-officio member and handle it. I have already started in to make the committee in the state of Iowa, naming one person for each county so as to give it a thorough canvass. This co:mittee T will handle out here. You better appoint a treasurer for your sub-committee, mkaing that sub committee every named in the society committeee, I will write Mr, Carnegie, he is a ver close personal friend of mine, and when I go east T will go and see him so it will not be necessary for any of the committee here to go to him, but raise all the money you can. It will take some 1"ttle time to get this committee started here but we will go before congress this session and get the authority for the selection of the site and also I will go before the legislature here and get the authority for the location of the site and an appropriation for the pedestal. We better call them the Allison Memori 1, In this way we can work without any friction and have the country divided so the committee in the east can get together any time you want them and T can handle the committee out here and between you and T we ought to make it a groat success. There is no question as to where the statue should go in this state under a state subscr'ption, it should be at Des Moines, If Dubuque is anxious to get a statue locally that jre can not help. Truly, Gj M, Dodge, 337 RESOLVED That a dividend of two per cent, he declared out of the surplus earnings of the Company, payable of December 15, 1908, to the holders of the Common Stock of this Company of record on the books of this Company at the close of business on "hursday,December Io,I908. RESOLVED FURTHER That the ^-ransfer books of the Common Stock of this Company be closed at the close of business of December 10,1908, and be opened at the opening of business on December 16, 1908. Dec. 1908. Marshalltown, Iowa., December 17, 1908, Genl. G. M. Dodge, Counci"'. Bluffs, la.. My Dear Genl. and Comrade Your letter and books reached me O.K. Many thanks, believe me, I shall read them v/ith interest. I was a boy when your Regiment the 4th la., was in camp in the Bluffs and tried to gain admission but on account of age could not. I had often visited what I suppose was your ranch on the Box Elder, before that period, have always been and am now a strong admirer of Genl. Dodge and thus was encourage^ ' to send you that poem on Grant, crude as I feel it is, it embodies the character of the man. I am enclosing two little poems. Taps and W. R. C. Taps is good and fine at funerals of comrades where a bugle can take it up at last line of 3rd verse, or to unknown dead on Memorial Day. W. R. C. is a tribute to that splendid organization we so love and admirer for their splendid aid. Truly and fraternally yours. A. M. Clark. y:'iDecember, 1908. 341 ^.oston, Mass., December 18, 1908. Genl. Grenville M. Dodge, Council Bluffs, Iowa, My dear General:- I am preparing a symposium concerning Lincoln for our centenary number in February. Can you not give me five hundred or a thousand words concerning Lincoln? Of course, you saw him and we are getting expressions from all those who knew him in the flesh. Don't feel any restriction on the amount of matter, as I just suggested that much in case you would not have time to write more but a longer sketch would be very acceptable. Hoping to see you at some of the Iowa Society functions during the winter and with best wishes, believe me, Sincerely yours, Joe Mitchell Chappie. jt;?c/mrp *L ■ .U December, 1908, Des Moines, Iowa., Dec. 18, 1908. Gen'l. Grenvllle M. Dodge, Council Bluffs, Iowa. Dear Sir, So often men say that the opportunities of the present day are limited and that the young man now hasn't the chance Cor attaining success that he did a generation, ago. You are in position to pass judgment upon this claim. ',Vill you not kindly give us your opinion for a symposium which we hope to publish at an early date? We are asking contributions from other former lowans who have attained success in the business and professional world as well as yourself. The feature promises not only to be in teresting, but valuable, also. Men like yourself ought to have much to say that would be worth while, helpful and stimulating for young men. You may suit your own convenience as to the length of what you send us, although we suggest a maximum of 2oo io 300 words. You are a busy man and perhaps it is asking a great deal to request this kindness to you, but we hope for a favorable reply. A personal word from you and from other successful men to the young men of Iowa will be as good as the best sermon at the beginning of the new year. Awaiting your early reply, I remain. Very truly yours. J. W. Beckman Managing Editor. December I9th, 1908. New York City, Dec. I9th, 1908, General Grenville M.Dodge, Baldwin Block, Council Bluffs, Iowa. My dear General Dodge Thank you very much for your prompt response to my request for the article. It came at exactly the ri^t time and the matetial is precisely what I wqnted. I find it extremely interesting and have every reason to think that it vdll have wide recognition. I think you depreciate too much your own skill in in putting the matter into shape and although I took you at your own word when you asked me to do whatever seemed necessary with it, that amounted only to a few verbal changes, the transposition of a para graph here and there and the introduction of two or three points that you had mentioned in conversation but had not included in the man uscript itself. I am sending you herewith a carbon copy of the article as it was transcribed for the printer.If you can look this through and indicate corrections on it, I will transfer those corrections to the proof when it comes back from the printing office. There are one or two points on which I v;ill ask you to verify the things that I introduced. 'n the first page of the manuscript we called • this journey the westernmost that Lincoln ever made. Do you know if this is the fact? I learn that he once made a speech at Troy, Kansas, but Troy is not as far west as Council Bluffs and as far as I can learn, this assertion is literally true. Was N.B.Judd the General Attorney of the Rock Island? Was Mr. ftatch. Secretary of State of Illinois A. M. or 0. M. Hatch? In your manuscript he is mentioned bothl^ys. You did not include the date of Lincoln's speech at Council Bluffs. Can you indicate that to me? We had a fine reception, opening the season at the Iowa Society at The Aston a few ni^ts ago, and this afternoon the com mittee will meet at General Clarkson's to determone the programu.e for the rest of the year. There are always some expressions of regret at your absence. With best wishes for the holiday season, I am Yours very sincerely. Trumbull White. Editor. December, El, 1908. New York, Dec. El, 1908. A. D. Parker, 711 Cooper Building, Denver, Colorado. I am making following announcement this afternoon concerning purchase of Colorado & Southern stock by the Burlington: "It is one of those agreeable transactions that is good for both parties. It will take the Burlington and affiliated lines to excellent terminals at Galveston, which place is in the longitude of Kansas City and has the ad ditional advantage of being on tidewater. At one stroke Colorado & Southern credit is further improved and it is therefore advantageous to all classes of present security holders. This of itself will help every community on Colorado & Southern lines, from Wyoming to the Gulf of Mexico and they will derive further advantages from the new Possibilities for exchange of commerce. The Chairman of our Board, General Crrenville m/. Dodge, who built the Union Pacific, Texas & Pacific, part of the Colorado & Southern and other lines, has for a long time favored a north and south line along the eastern base of the Rocky Mountains, or form Canada. The affiliations hhich this ar rangement insures can greatly aid the development of the whole Rocky Mountain region; also of Texas, the growth of which is simply well begun. I have just completed fifteen years with the property,- first as receiver and afterward as President, and look forward with satisfaction to an early temporary retirememt from acti"ve business." Frank Trumbull. Same telegram to Messrs. Keeler and Baker. Dec. SI? 1908. New York, Deo. Si, 1908. Mr. D.B. Keeler, Mr. R.H. Baker. A word to our employees and our patrons: A better purchaser than the Burlington for the Colorado ^ Southern could not have bben found. I understand the Colorado and Southern Lines will be operated separately, and as far as our employes'are concerned, the infrequency of changes on the Burlington system is a good index to their general ploicy toward all good men. I believe tliat Colorado & Southern lines will have more employes than ever before. Our Board of Directors and I personally, cordially thank our of ficers and emplojres for all faithful service rendered and we wish and expect for them a Happy New Year. I also wish to thank all patrons of Colorado & Southern Lines for their great friendlyness toward us and I predict for them augmented prosperity if they will continue to cooperate in every wise way for the expansion of Colorado & Southern Lines. I have great satisfaction in feeling that the new financial inter ests which ke have been able to enlist in behalf of this property can do more than ever for Texas and I regard ti as very propitious that this influential dinancial interest enters the field almost simultaneously with the movement inside the state for the developement of Texas. Frank Trumbull. 351 Dec. ai, 1908. New York, Deo. 21, 1908. Mr. Parker, Mr.Keeler, Mr. Baker. Mr. Hawley is just oonfirming sale of Colorado & Southern stock to the Burlington and is making the following announcement in connection with same: "The Colorado & Southern Lines are in snug shape in every respect. I have held continuously for ahout seven years a very considerable inter est in them. During this period there have been various vicissitudes of bus iness and in the mining states, and a severe panic, but the lines have been expanding in a conservative way, in strategic situations, and they serve a growing country, so I have always had faith in them. The net earnings of the properties, to which Mr. Trumbull has giv en his undivided attention, are about ten times what they were thefirst year of his receivership. The property is a gDod one just as it is, but I can see that its future andits usefulness to a large territoey will be much enhanced by this arrangement. From the standpoint of all classes of Colorado & Southern secur ity holders and of every community along the line, as well as from the standpoint of its many employes, there could not have been a better purchaser than the Burlington, particularly because the two systems are so favorably situated toward each other." E. Hawley. Frank Trumbull. December, 1908. 853 New York, December 22, 1908. Dear General:- I received your note of the seventeenth instant and I expect you think I have been rather negligent in the last few days about communicating with you, but as you can easily imagine, the last week has been a very busy one here and the last two days have been quite exciting to a good many people. Everybody on the street is pleased with the Burlington deal and congratulations pour in from all directions. I spent two hours and a half with Mr. Harris this morning and must say that he has been very nice about the whole matter in every way. I believe Mr. Hawley has already delivered all the stock he contracted to but there will be some other lots to go in. Mr. Parker is in Chicago in connection with the extension of the Ganta Pe joint operation contract and I expect him here next Monday. I expect Mr. Keeler and Mr. Cowan onthe following day. Mr. Harris leaves this afternoon for Chicago and goes thence to California to spend a little time with Mrs. Harris. He expects to be back in Chicago by January fifteenth and said he would then come east again and that "We will work out together the question of the Board of Directors and other things." I promised to go oyer the property with him soon thereafter. Mr. Parker can tell me when he gets here where car Arcadia is I think you ought to use it, but we will also look out for the Rock Island pass ys you request. I am looking forward with great pleasure to a good long talk with you in Chicago, and Mrs. Trumbull and all of your associates here wish you a Merry Christmas and a very, very Happy New Year, and many of them. General C. M. Dodge, Council Bluffs, Iowa Sincerely yours. Prank Trumbull. # Also to ^"rs. Montgomery and all your household. P. T. 255 December 23, I9o8. Fort Des TJoines, Iowa,Dec .23, I9o8, Gen. G M.Dodge, Council Bluffs, Iov/a. My dear General: 1 desire to thank you very much for your courtesy in sending me a copy of the pamphlet entitled "General Sherman in the last year of the Civil War"I shall read it with great interest. If your lecture which I heard on the "Spy dEuring the Civil War" that you recently delivered in Des Moines is ever published, I would be denoted to have a copy. It is a valuable subject for a mil itary man upon which very little has ever been written. To change the subject I see that the "Burlington " has bought yo\ir road, the "Colorado and Southern". I presume the latter will now be extended north or north west to connect with the Burlingta.n either at Sheridan,Wyoming or at Thermopolis in the Big Horn Basin. I should think the latter route preferable in order to open up the vast oil fields in the Big Horn Basin and the latter route would, I think make the short est route to connect with the new line from Great Falls to Billings. Wishing you a very Happy Xmas, I remain. "Very sincerely. Col. 2d Cavalry, F.West. 1908. T was unable to be present at the Christmas exercisesAfor the children In 1908 and sent them the follow^'ng greet^'ng: No, 1 Broadway New York, Dec. 23, 1908. 1^7 dear Brother and Comrades: The Christmas day draws near, when the soldiers, their ch^" Idren and grand&children, will assemble to receive their Christmas greeting, and I hope and trust the occasion will be a very pleasant one. This anniversary day this year is rather a sad one to me,for T have had to lay to rest during the past week a dear friend, the wife of General U. S. Grant, whom I have known ever since 1862. At one time the first lady of the land, not only our country but all parts of the earth mourn her loss and the messages that have come to her family show the respect and love in -.vhich she was held aniversally. ^e laid her beside the body of her distinguished husband in the Grant tomb on Riverside in New York last Sunday. This fall another distinguished friend, comrade and citizen of Iowa, General v;illiamson, who started out with me as adjutant of the Sourth Towa, was laid to rest in Washington. On last Sunday the last sad honors were paid to General Wager Swayne who served under me for nearly three years, and was my personal friend and attorney ever since. You can see as these old comrades pass away that it brings to me a feeling of sadness, but their lives should be a gui de and example to those who are assembled to make merry at this Christmas gathering. I regret very much that T cannot be w1th you to see and greet you, but T extend to you my heartiest greetings anc my best wishes for your good health and future welfare. Truly and cordially yours, G. M. Dodge. Council Bluffs, Dec. 23, 1908. Editor The Register & Leader, Des Mo^nes, Iowa, Dear Sir;- Replying to your inquiry if the opportunities for a young man are equal or better now than fifty years agao, I answer decidedly yes. Our country has grown and developed in fifty years more than it would have done in one hundred years without the experience of the Civil War. The lessons taught us in those five years made every one engaged in the C1v^l War ready to tackel any problem and to grasp and master any enterprise. In an early day there was a surplus of almost everything produced in this country, or in other words, we produced far more than we could sell; a concr"tio that was far reaching in its effects upon the prices of our products and also upon the opportunities for employment. It restrained materially the development of our country and the opportunity for new enterprises. Now we have a market for all we can produce, with remunerative prices for everything we have to sell and this has given opportunetieis for development, for employment and for successful enterprise of every description. Take my own experience as a civil engineer for an example. In the fifties and sixties the civil or t.e mechanical engineer of a railroad had to perform all the duties that came under his profession. In building a railroad he had to make the preliminary survey, perfect the location, plan and build the bridges, the stations, and all structures, build the shops, lay out all terminals and construct and complete the entire road. Today, there is an engineer engaged in everyone of the different works T have mentioned. In an early day our elements of power were wfeter and steam. Today they are water, steam, gas, electricity, and a^d, and these elements are all divided into hundreds of different duties that were never thought of half a century ago, and everyone required an expert to handle it. The every invention opens up new fields of opportunity and everyone is grasped and ives employment physica' or professional that, in my day, was never thought of. The growth of our country in every direction has developed great opportunities to any young man who has industry, honesty, and an Interest in his employer. Any young man to become useful and successful, must learn discipline, obedience, to orders, respect for authority, loyalty and to govern himself. With these and a fair education, he will invariably be a success and a benefit to himself and his country. Respectfully, Grenville M. Dodge, December, 1908, 361 Washington, D. C. December 25, 1908, Christmas Day, My dear General We are spending a very sad and quiet Christmas here; not at all like what it was last Christmas when our dear Bobbie was with us and so much interested in everything which was going on. Yet I feel that I cannot let the day pass without writing a line to you from all of us here to wish for you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and to express the wish that you may yet be spared manjr years to enjoy the comfort and dignity which you have so well earned and deserved. My health is better but I do not yet get the strength and energy which I should have. Carra is better and we hope soon after the New Year opens to get away where it is warmer and where we will have a change of scene and air, Elfeanor and "Felix" are settled in their apartment in Fiorina Court, just around the corner from us. They are here today and join with Carra and me in all the good wishes of the season. Ever faithfully yours, J. T. Granger. T ■ : ■ ,■ ,1 ' S. . ' /'3 ■ '.■< ' -Vi L'.fa* m363'*^ • PeoemlDer 26, 1908. New York, December 26, 1908. Dear General: I cannot tell you how much your letter of December twenty-sec ond pleased me.It is such a satisfaction to know that you are pleased with this particular outcome for the Colorado & Southern. Your letter reached me Christmas Eve and Christmas morning I read it over the phone to Mr. Hawley. He, also, felt that it added a great deal to our enjoy ment of this particular Christmas. I shall have much to tell you when I see you in Chicago and therefore hope that you and I can be together most of the day January fifth or part of the following day if that suits you better. Mrs. Trumbull, Roscoe and I also thank you for your Christmas telegram. These telegrams and letters are going to be splendid souven irs for all of us, of a very happy period. Sincerely yours, Frank Trumbull. General G.M.Dodge, Council Bluffs, lov/a. December, 1908. 365 Chicago, Illinois, December 29, 1908, General G. M. Dodge, Council Bluffs, Iowa. My dear General Yesterday I received a telephone message asking me to attend a meeting of the Association of Engineers, January 5th, 1909, to hear a paper read by you on the development of the' West. I regret very deeply that a dinner given to me by the Society of Foreign Wars will prevent my being with you on that evening. If it had been an ordinary engagement I would break it so as to attend your's, but Colonel Foreman has been after m.e for more than a year to set a date for this dinner and I fixed it for January 5th some six weeks ago and I cannot very well either break the en gagement or have the date changed. The fact that I will not be able to be present when you read your paper does not prevent your staying with me, however, while you are in Chicago, and so I write to ask that you let me knov/ what train you will be on so that I can meet you at the depot and take you to my house. We are very comfortably settled on the north side here and Mrs. Grant and I would be most happy to have the honor of a visit from you. Please let me know as soon as you can the time that you will arrive here and the railroad by which you will come. Mrs. Grant joins me in affectionate regard to you and your's and in wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Yours affectionately and faithfully, Frederick D. Grant. O V c Council Bluffs, Dec. 29, 1908. Mr. B. F. Tallinghast, Editor Democrat, Dear Sir; Davenport, iowa. I think the monument or niemorial to be erected to Senator Allison in this State, should be at its capital, Des Koines. Prepara tions are being made to appeal to the citizens of the state for sub scriptions, which makes it a state affair, and the kind of monument or memorial must be governed by their response. I think that every Institutic i of learning in the State sbould have a professoi-ship, a scholarship, or something to commemorate his name and services and in remembrance of what he has done for them, but these, necessar ily, are local. Parks are local to cities, and are generally provided b them, and it would be a very proper tribute to Senator Allison to give some of them his name, but, to my mind, there is noti.ing that attracts the attentj.on of ti e people and so represents the success of a great public benefactor as a proper monument or distinct memorial at the capital of the state and the nation, and especially is this the case of Senator Allison who served both his state and the nation so ably and successfully for fifty years . rVery truly yours, Grenville M. Dodge. '1' 371 1908. On August 31, 1908, I attended the Nat'onal Encampment of the G. A. R. at TOledo and spent three days w^.th my old comrades, T also attended the reunion of Fuller's Br'gade, the first time T had met them since the Civil War, I made an address to them mostly devoted to the^r own services under me In the campaigns, 1862 to 1864^ A full account of this can be found In scapbook 17, pages 51 to 55, Senator Allison died on August 4, 1908. In many places In this record T have given my views of Senator Allison, but scrap-book 21 Is devoted to him. This book contains the eulogies of everyone over the ent^'re country showing the-'r appreciation of his services. On Marcl. 18, 1908 Mr, B. L, Winchell, President of the Chicago, Rock Island A Pacific Railroad Company, who was in my service as a young man, came to visit me at Counc'l Bluffs and to deliver an address before the Commercial Club, On March 18th I entertained him and the Saturday Noon Club and others at a Luncheon an account of which can be found on page 67 scrap-book 24. ♦7 tJ t O Copy Dear.Gen.

I had known you by reputation, but it needdthe opportunity our short campaign gave me to appreciate one who mingled so gracefully and perfectly the polished Christian gentleman and the prompt, zealous and gallant soldier.

Not only did you do all that circumstances required, but ycu did it in a spirit of cheerfulness, that was reflected in the conduct and behavior of your whole command.
